IBM 98Y2898 is a 1.3-meter direct-attach copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand FDR and Ethernet connections. It features QSFP+ connectors on both ends, supporting 4 0Gbps throughput over short-reach backbone and switch-to-server deployments. The cable is fully compatible with IBM System x and BladeCenter infrastructure, as well as third-party systems supporting FDR QSFP+ standards. Typical applications include data center fabric interconnects, HPC cluster networking, and low-latency storage I/O. DAC construction eliminates the need for transceivers, reducing cost and power consumption compared to active optical cables.
