Juniper Networks SFP28 25GE DAC 3M | 25 GbE Direct Attach Cable

Build short-reach 25 GbE links with more routing flexibility using the Juniper Networks SFP28 25GE DAC 3M. This 3 m direct attach copper cable is designed for SFP28-to-SFP28 connectivity in environments where adjacent racks or slightly longer intra-row runs make a 1 m cable too tight. The direct attach design keeps deployment straightforward. You avoid selecting and stocking separate optical transceivers, and you reduce power draw for links that do not need fiber. In dense infrastructure, that translates into fewer parts to manage and a cleaner bill of materials. The added length is the difference between a cable that merely fits and one that routes properly. Three meters gives technicians room to preserve bend radius, maintain orderly cable paths, and keep airflow unobstructed around active equipment. For teams standardizing on Juniper switching, this cable supports a disciplined 25 GbE rollout without adding unnecessary complexity. When short-reach performance matters but rack spacing is less forgiving, this DAC delivers the right balance of reach, simplicity, and operational control.
