HPE 845416-B21100GB QSFP28 to 4X25GB SFP28 3M DAC

Overview:

What if you could increase bandwidth while reducing CAPEX and cabling complexity? HPE 845416-B21 QSFP28 Direct Attach Cables provide 100 Gb high-speed connections to meet the exponential data growth in data centers and cloud-based services. It delivers 4 times faster performance than 25 Gb. Compared to 40 Gb solutions, the 100Gb QSFP28 technology provides superior switch port density with lower costs and power requirements. In addition, bandwidth consolidation allows the reduction of cabling complexity, power, cooling, and freeing space. The 845416-B21 breakout HPE QSFP28 Direct Attach Cables allow aggregation of separate 25 Gb connections, allowing a smooth and flexible transition from 25 Gb to 100 Gb.

The HPE 845416-B21 is a high-performance and cost-effective Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed to facilitate fast and reliable data transmission within data center environments. This DAC cable serves as a bridge between 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GB) QSFP28 ports and 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GB) SFP28 ports, offering seamless connectivity and flexibility for networking configurations.

The QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 configuration allows for the aggregation or breakout of high-speed data connections, providing versatility in networking deployments. It enables users to consolidate multiple 25GB connections into a single 100GB link for improved efficiency and reduced cabling complexity, or to split a single 100GB link into multiple 25GB connections to accommodate various networking requirements.
