Description

The Arista CAB-D-8S-200G-1M is a 200GBASE-CR8 passive twinax copper breakout DAC cable designed for high-density data centre deployments. It splits a single QSFP-DD port operating at 200G (8 x 25G NRZ lanes) into eight individual 25GBASE-CR SFP connections over a 1-metre length — enabling direct, low-latency connectivity between spine or leaf switches and servers equipped with 25G SFP NICs. The passive copper design eliminates active components, reducing cost and power consumption while maintaining full signal integrity at short reach.

This breakout cable is ideal for bridging high-speed Arista switching infrastructure with legacy 25G server NICs, supporting interoperability with 100G QSFP and 25G SFP environments. Each SFP connector EEPROM is programmed for 25G NRZ data rates, ensuring compatibility with legacy NIC software. Fully certified on applicable Arista platforms, it operates plug-and-play with Arista EOS 4.23.0 or later and integrates seamlessly with CloudVision. Backed by Arista's 1-year limited hardware warranty. Get it now at iptrading.com.au — authentic hardware, reliable service.

FAQs

Q: What does the CAB-D-8S-200G-1M connect?
A: It connects a single QSFP-DD port configured for 200G (using 8 x 25G NRZ electrical lanes) to eight individual 25GBASE-CR SFP ports, making it a breakout DAC cable ideal for high-density server connectivity in data centres.

Q: Is this an active or passive cable?
A: It is a passive twinax copper DAC cable — no active components or transceivers are required. This keeps costs low and reduces power consumption compared to active optical alternatives.

Q: Which Arista EOS version is required?
A: The CAB-D-8S-200G-1M requires Arista EOS 4.23.0 or later for full compatibility and plug-and-play operation with Arista EOS and CloudVision.

Q: Can this cable be used with non-Arista servers or NICs?
A: Yes. Each SFP connector EEPROM is programmed to indicate 25G NRZ signal support, ensuring compatibility with legacy NIC software and servers equipped with standard 25GBASE-CR SFP ports — not just Arista devices.

Q: Is this cable available in longer lengths?
A: Yes. The same breakout DAC series is available in 1m, 2m, and 3m lengths to suit different rack and cabling distances within your data centre.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista CAB-D-8S-200G-1M in Australia?
A: Yes. IP Trading is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller stocking genuine Arista cables and optics. You can order the CAB-D-8S-200G-1M directly at iptrading.com.au with reliable local service and support.
