The NVIDIA Mellanox 5-meter 100G QSFP28 passive copper cable extends high-bandwidth AI connectivity across wider rack configurations. This longer DAC handles mid-rack to top-of-rack switch connections while maintaining full 100 Gigabit performance without active components or power consumption.

Essential for GPU clusters with non-standard rack layouts. The 5-meter length accommodates taller racks, cross-rack connections, and installations where cable routing requires extra distance. Passive twinax construction delivers reliable 100G performance with zero power draw and maximum durability.

Perfect for connecting GPU servers in positions 20-42U to top-mounted switches. Heavy-gauge copper maintains signal integrity even at 5 meters. NVIDIA-certified for DGX systems ensures full compatibility and warranty coverage. This is the cable for flexible AI infrastructure design.

Key Benefits:

• 5-meter length handles extended rack distances
• Zero power consumption with passive design
• No transceivers needed saves deployment cost
• NVIDIA-certified for DGX platform compatibility
• Heavy-gauge twinax for signal integrity
