Description

The Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-2.5M is a 10GBASE-CR passive Twinax direct attach copper (DAC) cable delivering 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between SFP+ ports over a 2.5-metre length. Designed for data centre environments, it provides cost-effective, ultra-low-latency short-reach interconnects for top-of-rack switching, HPC clusters, and network storage deployments where optical transceivers are unnecessary.

With a passive copper design drawing just 0.57W per end and full compliance with IEEE 802.3, SFF-8431, and SFP+ MSA standards, this cable integrates seamlessly with Arista EOS and CloudVision across all supported Arista SFP+ and SFP25 platforms. RoHS compliant and hot-swappable for flexible, safe deployment. Available now at iptrading.com.au — competitive prices and local support.

FAQs

Q: What is the maximum reach of the CAB-SFP-SFP-2.5M DAC cable?
A: This cable supports a reach of 2.5 metres (8.2 ft), making it ideal for connecting adjacent switches, servers, or storage within or between nearby racks in a data centre environment.

Q: Is this a passive or active DAC cable?
A: It is a passive Twinax direct attach copper (DAC) cable. Passive DAC cables contain no active electronics, resulting in ultra-low power consumption (max 0.57W per end) and lower latency compared to active optical solutions.

Q: Which Arista platforms support the CAB-SFP-SFP-2.5M?
A: The cable is supported on all Arista platforms with SFP+ or SFP25 ports running supported EOS releases. Refer to Arista's Transceiver and Cable Guide for platform-specific compatibility details.

Q: Is the CAB-SFP-SFP-2.5M compatible with non-Arista switches?
A: The cable complies with IEEE 802.3, SFF-8431, and SFP+ MSA standards, which means it may be compatible with other MSA-compliant SFP+ ports. However, Arista certifies and fully supports this cable on Arista platforms only. Check your vendor's compatibility list before deploying on third-party equipment.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-2.5M in Australia?
A: Yes. The Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-2.5M is available now through iptrading.com.au, an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller offering competitive pricing and local support.

Q: What warranty does the CAB-SFP-SFP-2.5M come with?
A: Arista provides a 1-Year Limited Hardware Warranty with a 10 business day turnaround. Optional Next Business Day and 4-hour advance hardware replacement support programmes are also available for higher uptime requirements.
