The Tripp Lite N280-01M-28-BK is a passive SFP28 to SFP28 twinax copper cable that delivers 25 Gigabit Ethernet across a short 1 meter span. It was built for top-of-rack links inside data centers, server rooms, and enterprise closets where switches, servers, or storage arrays sit only a few feet apart and demand low-latency connectivity.
Because the cable is a direct-attach copper assembly, it removes the need for separate optical transceivers and fiber patch cords. Data moves at up to 25 Gbps with minimal latency, an advantage for virtualized clusters, high-performance computing nodes, and any workload that benefits from rapid east-west traffic.
Each end uses a zinc die-cast housing that shields the signal path from electromagnetic interference, helping maintain clean throughput even in crowded racks full of power lines and high-frequency gear. Pull tabs are built into the connector bodies, so technicians can perform hot swaps quickly and safely without extra tools.
The cable follows SFF-8432 and IEEE 802.3by guidelines and carries firmware coding compatible with leading switch platforms from Cisco, Arista, Dell, Juniper, Mellanox, and others that accept SFP28 direct-attach cables. This broad compatibility lets IT teams standardize on one part number instead of stocking vendor-specific cords for every rack.
A lifetime limited warranty from Tripp Lite backs the assembly, providing long-term confidence once the cable is installed in production.
