Q: What is the maximum data rate supported by the CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M?
A: The CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M supports 10 Gbps per the 10GBASE-CR standard, making it suitable for 10G Ethernet interconnects in data centre and HPC environments.

Q: Is this cable compatible with non-Arista switches?
A: The cable is compliant with IEEE 802.3 and MSA standards, which provides a degree of broad compatibility. However, it is specifically validated and fully supported on Arista switching platforms running EOS. Compatibility with third-party equipment should be verified before deployment.

Q: Why choose a passive DAC cable over an active optical cable or transceiver?
