Lenovo 1M QSFP Passive DAC Cable

The Lenovo 00KF003 is a 1-meter QSFP passive direct attach cable that provides a straightforward way to connect two Ethernet-based devices at very close range. Each end uses a QSFP connector with a male interface, so you can plug the cable directly into compatible switch or server ports without separate transceivers.

Because the design relies on copper conductors and requires no additional power, it keeps latency low and reduces heat inside the rack. The passive build also means fewer active components that could fail, giving administrators one less point of concern when planning high-density deployments.

This cable is most at home in data centers where short, clean links are needed between servers and a top-of-rack switch, or between adjacent pieces of hardware inside the same cabinet. Lenovo has validated it for use with IBM System x servers, making it a dependable choice for environments that already standardize on that platform.

Installation is simple. Route the 3.3-foot length along a cable guide, click each QSFP end into place, and the connection is ready. If you ever need to reconfigure your rack, the flexible jacket and modest length make moves and changes fast and neat.
