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.

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.
