Juniper JNP-100G-DAC-5M 100G QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper Cable
The Juniper JNP-100G-DAC-5M is a 5-meter 100G QSFP28 direct attach copper cable designed for short-reach high-speed data center connectivity. It is commonly used to connect compatible Juniper switches, routers, aggregation platforms, and server infrastructure where 100GbE performance is required across short distances.
This 100G DAC cable is a practical option for rack-level and adjacent-rack connections because it combines QSFP28 ends and twinax copper cabling in one assembly. In addition, DAC connectivity can help reduce cost, simplify deployment, and lower power consumption compared with separate optical transceivers and fiber cables.

Data Sheet
Network Benefits & Common Use Cases
- Short-reach 100G connectivity: Supports high-speed links between compatible switches, routers, servers, and aggregation platforms.
- Cost-effective 100GbE cabling: DAC cables reduce the need for separate QSFP28 optics and fiber patch cables in short-distance deployments.
- Fast data center deployment: Integrated QSFP28 ends simplify installation for rack-level and adjacent-rack connectivity.
- Aggregation and spine connectivity: Useful for 100GbE uplinks between top-of-rack, aggregation, and spine switches.
- Lower power short links: DAC-style cabling is often a practical option where copper reach is sufficient and optical links are not required.
Compatibility & Popular Deployment Environments
The JNP-100G-DAC-5M is commonly deployed with Juniper platforms that support 100G QSFP28 DAC connectivity. Compatibility depends on the switch or router model, Junos release, port mode, and Juniper hardware compatibility guidance.
Popular Deployment Environments
- 100GbE data center uplinks
- Spine-leaf switch connectivity
- Router-to-switch short-reach links
- Aggregation and core networking
- Cloud and private data center infrastructure
Frequently Paired Components
- Juniper QFX switches with QSFP28 ports
- Juniper MX and ACX platforms where supported
- 100GbE top-of-rack and spine switches
- Short-reach data center cabling plans
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the JNP-100G-DAC-5M used for?
It is used for short-reach 100GbE connections between compatible Juniper switches, routers, and data center platforms using QSFP28 ports.
Is this a passive copper cable?
It is a direct attach copper twinax-style cable designed for short-distance 100G Ethernet links. Always confirm platform support before deployment.
Can this replace 100G optics and fiber?
For short-distance supported links, yes. DAC cables can be a lower-cost alternative to separate optics and fiber, but they are not intended for long-distance fiber runs.
