Tripp Lite N282D-01M-BK Qsfp-dd Direct Attach Cable

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N282D-01M-BK is a QSFP-DD direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for high-density, high-speed network interconnects in data center and enterprise environments. QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density) connectors support increased lane counts over standard QSFP, making this cable suited for high-bandwidth switching and routing applications. At 1 meter in length, it is sized for short-reach rack-to-rack or top-of-rack switch connections. Installation is handled by network engineers and data center technicians.

This cable is used in enterprise data center environments where high-speed, short-distance interconnects are required between switches, routers, and servers. The 1-meter length suits top-of-rack deployments where equipment is co-located within the same rack or adjacent racks. It is a passive direct attach solution, eliminating the need for separate optical transceivers on short runs.

Key Features

• QSFP-DD form factor with double-density connector for high lane-count applications
• 1-meter cable length suited for top-of-rack and intra-rack deployments
• Direct attach copper construction eliminates the need for active optical components on short runs
• Passive cable design requires no additional power beyond what the host port supplies
• Black jacket for standard cable management identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style direct attach replacement cable for enterprise switches, routers, and servers equipped with QSFP-DD host ports.

Installation Notes

QSFP-DD DAC cables are installed by network engineers or data center technicians. Power down or administratively disable the host port before seating or removing the connector to avoid interface errors. Ensure the QSFP-DD port on the host device is compatible with passive DAC cables before installation. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to avoid signal degradation.
