Fortinet FN-CABLE-QSFP28-5 QSFP28 Cable

FN-CABLE-QSFP28-5 Exact Order Identity

FN-CABLE-QSFP28-5 is a 100 GE QSFP28 passive direct-attach copper cable. It is a physical connectivity item, not a FortiCare or FortiGuard service entitlement.

Interface and Link Role

QSFP28 to QSFP28 straight DAC. The documented link role is 100GBASE-CR4, 100 Gbps. The applicable host interface is Systems with QSFP28 slots.

Length or Reach

5 m. The documented operating condition is 0 C to 70 C.

Model-Specific Acceptance

Review the full five-metre pathway and copper-cable bulk before ordering; test link stability after final routing rather than while loosely coiled.

Deployment Record for This Order Line

For the five-metre straight 100 GE DAC, obtain an explicit copper-path approval and document cable-management capacity before installation. Preserve negotiated mode, error counters and the reason an optical alternative was not selected for this longer in-rack connection.

Procurement Boundary

Match the full SKU, connector or cable geometry, endpoint port type, link mode, quantity and route. Confirm current Fortinet platform compatibility and the accepted bill of materials; do not substitute a similar-looking form factor.

Official Evidence

Fortinet official transceiver and cable catalog is the manufacturer reference used for this audit. Where the exact order row is absent from the current public catalog, written Fortinet order confirmation remains mandatory.
