Description

The Dell P7C7N (0P7C7N) is a high-performance 100GbE QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper cable with a 1-meter length and QSFP28 connectors at both ends. The cable uses a passive copper DAC design, providing a low-latency and cost-effective solution for short-range 100GbE connectivity within data centers.

The cable is designed to connect compatible Dell Networking switches, servers, and other equipment equipped with QSFP28 ports. Dell compatibility documentation identifies P7C7N as a 100G QSFP28 DAC, 1 Meter, while other networking documentation identifies it as a 100GBASE-CR4 / 25GBASE-CR cable.

Its short 1-meter length is particularly suitable for rack-level interconnections, reducing cable clutter while providing high-speed connectivity between adjacent networking devices.
