JNP-100G-DAC-5M

The JNP-100G-DAC-5M uses 5 m of twinax copper with a QSFP28 connector fixed at each end for 100G Ethernet. The compatibility tool shows 740-061002 as the underlying part number. Juniper's data gives a maximum power draw of 0.5 W. It suits spine-leaf cabling where both devices are close together. The conductor is 26 AWG twinax. A new, genuine Juniper cable, shipped sealed. At 5 m there is room to route along a vertical manager and still reach the next cabinet. Wire gauge is listed as 26 AWG, which sets how stiff the cable feels. Typical use is switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections at 100G inside a rack or between neighbours. Confirm the host platform and software release against Juniper's compatibility listing first; the same cable is not accepted by every port on every chassis.
