Zyxel DAC100G-3M 3m QSFP28 DAC Cable
Direct-attach copper (DAC)3m / 9.84ftQSFP28 to QSFP28100Gbps-class
The Zyxel DAC100G-3M (manufacturer SKU DAC100G-3M-ZZ0101F) is a 3m direct-attach copper cable assembly with integrated QSFP28 ends for a direct link between supported 100G QSFP28 host ports. Both ports, firmware and the exact cable qualification must be supported; physical fit alone does not establish compatibility.
Best For: For network installations that need a 3m direct copper link between compatible 100G QSFP28 host ports, and where the exact cable is accepted by the hardware and firmware at both ends.
Before you order: This is not an optical transceiver, fibre patch cable or 100G-to-4x25G fan-out cable. No universal Zyxel or third-party compatibility, 40G/25G/10G fallback, stacking/LAG behaviour or guaranteed 100Gbps payload is established. Check port and connector clearance, routing and separation within the 3m cable length; disconnecting it interrupts the physical link.
What's in the Box
- One complete Zyxel DAC100G-3M 3m cable assembly with two integrated QSFP28 ends
What It Means in Practice
- The 3m figure is the cable assembly length, not an optical-reach rating. Plan routing and endpoint separation within that length, allowing for connector clearance and avoiding cable strain.
- Both ends need supported 100G QSFP28 host ports, firmware and qualification for this exact cable. A matching connector shape alone does not guarantee acceptance.
- The cable is powered through compatible host connections; no external mains adapter or PoE injector is listed.
- Removing the cable interrupts the physical link, so plan any disconnection accordingly.
What Will Not Work
- No RJ45, SFP+/SFP28, LC or MPO connectors; this cable does not connect to those ports or installed optics' LC/MPO sockets.
- Not a standalone transceiver, separate fibre lead or 100G-to-4x25G fan-out cable.
- No universal Zyxel or third-party host compatibility, fallback link speed, automatic stacking/LAG, plug-and-play operation or zero-downtime guarantee is established.
- The manufacturer lists CX4800-56F and CX3800 Series for this exact cable; CX3800 Series availability is footnoted for Q4 2026. Confirm exact hardware, ports, firmware and current qualification.
Key Features
3m direct copper link

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The complete 3m QSFP28-to-QSFP28 copper assembly provides a direct link without separate optical modules or a fibre patch lead. Its supported-host list is specific, so confirm both endpoints before ordering.
Buyer’s Guide
✓ Buy it if For network installations that need a 3m direct copper link between compatible 100G QSFP28 host ports, and where the exact cable is accepted by the hardware and firmware at both ends.
✕ Skip it if This is not an optical transceiver, fibre patch cable or 100G-to-4x25G fan-out cable. No universal Zyxel or third-party compatibility, 40G/25G/10G fallback, stacking/LAG behaviour or guaranteed 100Gbps payload is established. Check port and connector clearance, routing and separation within the 3m cable length; disconnecting it interrupts the physical link.
→ Also consider If either endpoint lacks a supported QSFP28 port or does not qualify this exact cable, choose a connection method explicitly supported by that equipment instead.
