The NVIDIA Mellanox 3-meter 25G SFP28 passive copper cable provides cost-effective high-speed connectivity for modern data centers upgrading from 10G. This compact DAC delivers 25 Gigabit performance at a fraction of the cost of optical solutions, making it the smart choice for dense server deployments.
Designed for organizations standardizing on 25G server connectivity. The SFP28 form factor fits high-density switches perfectly. Passive copper design requires zero power while the 3-meter length handles most rack configurations from top to mid-rack server positions.
Perfect for general-purpose servers, virtualization hosts, and storage systems that need reliable 25G connectivity. Lower cost than both optical transceivers and active cables makes this the go-to solution for budget-conscious deployments. NVIDIA-certified for full compatibility with Spectrum switches.
