QSFP28 to QSFP28 100 Gigabit direct attach cable specifications
The QSFP28 to QSFP28 100 Gigabit direct attach cable (DAC) assembly directly connects two
QSFP28 ports. For more information, see IEEE 802.3–2012 cable assembly specification standard.
Note:
• The VSP switches operate in forgiving mode for QSFP28 DACs, which means that the
switch will bring up the port operationally when using non-Avaya direct attach cables.
Avaya does not provide support for operational issues related to these DACs, but they will
operate and the port link will come up.
• QSFP28 transceivers are currently supported on the VSP 8404C chassis model only.
The following table provides a list of the supported QSFP28 to QSFP28 DACs.
