Description

The CPAC-DAC-100G-xM-DM-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Check Point CPAC-DAC-100G-1M-DM. This passive twinax copper cable delivers plug-and-play 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between QSFP28 ports on Check Point security appliances. - Compliant with IEEE 802.3bj 100GBASE-CR4 standard, ensuring interoperability with QSFP28 ports - QSFP28 to QSFP28 form factor, 100 Gigabit Ethernet data rate, passive copper twinax construction - Suitable for intra-rack and inter-rack connections up to 5 meters - Available in three lengths: 1M, 2M, and 5M to suit varied deployment scenarios - Low power consumption (less than 0.2W total) with no active components required - Hot-swappable design with QSFP28 MSA compliance for seamless integration

Features

• IEEE 802.3bj 100GBASE-CR4 compliance guarantees physical and electrical compatibility with QSFP28 ports across Check Point Quantum security gateways and compatible network infrastructure
• Passive copper architecture relies entirely on host port signal strength for 100G NRZ signaling across four 25G lanes, eliminating active electronics and associated power draw or heat generation
• QSFP28 MSA-compliant connectors support EEPROM identification, enabling automatic link negotiation and diagnostics over the management interface
• Twinax copper construction delivers lower latency than active optical alternatives while maintaining superior bend radius and installation flexibility compared to rigid fiber assemblies
• Three discrete length options (1M, 2M, 5M) allow precise cable management within racks or across adjacent enclosures without excess slack or signal degradation
• Hot-swappable without powering down the host appliance, supporting zero-downtime maintenance and provisioning workflows in production environments

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Check Point CPAC-DAC-100G-1M-DM?
A: Yes. This cable is a direct replacement for the CPAC-DAC-100G-1M-DM and meets the same IEEE 802.3bj 100GBASE-CR4 standard with QSFP28 form factor and 100 Gigabit data rate. It is plug-and-play compatible with Check Point security appliances that specify the original SKU.

Q: Which Check Point platforms support this cable?
A: This cable is compatible with Check Point appliances featuring QSFP28 100G ports, including Quantum 16200, 16600, 26000, 28000, 28600 series, and Maestro MHO-140, MHO-170, and MHO-175 orchestrators. Any Check Point platform with a 40/100G QSFP28 interface card will support this cable.

Q: What is the maximum reliable reach for passive 100GBASE-CR4 copper?
A: Passive 100GBASE-CR4 cables are rated up to 5 meters per the IEEE 802.3bj specification, with actual reach dependent on cable gauge. This product uses appropriate gauge copper to support the full rated length of each variant (1M, 2M, or 5M) without signal degradation or bit error rate issues.

Q: Does this cable require FEC (forward error correction) to be enabled on the host port?
A: 100GBASE-CR4 passive copper cables typically operate reliably without FEC for lengths up to 5 meters. However, enabling FEC (such as RS-FEC or BASE-R FEC) on the Check Point appliance can provide additional link margin and is recommended if you encounter link stability issues or operate at maximum cable length.

Q: Can I mix this cable with other vendor QSFP28 DACs in the same switch stack or chassis?
A: Yes. Because this cable is IEEE 802.3bj compliant and adheres to QSFP28 MSA electrical specifications, it will interoperate with any standards-compliant QSFP28 passive DAC from any vendor. The EEPROM coding ensures Check Point appliances recognize the cable, while the physical layer remains vendor-neutral.
