Intel® Ethernet SFP28 Twinaxial Cables
SFP28 Passive Copper Cables for Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter XXV710
The Intel® Ethernet QSFP28 to SFP28
Twinaxial Breakout Cables offer IT
professionals a cost-effective
interconnect solution for merging
QSFP28 and 25Gb SFP28 enabled
adapters, switches, and servers. With
the rapid evolution of high-speed
networking standards, the Intel®
Ethernet QSFP28 to SFP28 Twinaxial
Breakout Cables enable customers to
aggregate traffic between one 100Gb
QSFP28 port with up to four 25Gb
SFP28 ports.
Intel® Ethernet SFP28 Twinaxial Cables
provide a high density, high bandwidth
solution at low cost and reduced power
budget.
Both cable types are fully compliant with
MSA standards. Customers can move
efficiently to 25GbE for high bandwidth
application requirements.
To ensure maximum flexibility, Intel
supports the ability to use a combination
of Intel® Ethernet SFP28 Optics, Intel®
Ethernet SFP28 Twinaxial Cables or
Intel® Ethernet QSFP28 to SFP28
Twinaxial Breakout Cables. This enables
customers to create the configuration
that best meets the needs of their data
center environment, while ensuring
compatibility between adapter and
accessories.
Overview
Intel® Ethernet SFP28 Twinaxial Cables
are for customers who would like to
deploy the Intel® Ethernet Network
Adapter XXV710 with an SFP28 direct
attach cable. Intel® Ethernet Network
Adapters with SFP28 connectivity
deliver proven, reliable solutions for
deployments of high density Ethernet
10/25GbE network connections. These
SFP28 adapters use the latest PCI
Express* v3.0 bus technology for
maximum bandwidth, and utilize the
increasing capabilities of systems using
the latest Intel® Xeon® processor.
Intel® Ethernet SFP28 Twinaxial Cables
are available in 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m
lengths. The single channel SFP28
interface features the same compact
profile as the popular 10Gb SFP+
standard, but has been upgraded
internally to support 25Gb/s data rates.
