Description

The Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-2M is a 10GBASE-CR passive direct attach copper (DAC) cable delivering 10 Gbps over a 2-metre twinax copper assembly with SFP+ connectors at both ends. Designed for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack interconnects in data centres, it eliminates the cost and complexity of optical transceivers, offering ultra-low power consumption (max 0.57W per end) and zero active components for maximum reliability. Full integration with Arista EOS and CloudVision ensures seamless plug-and-play deployment across Arista switching infrastructure.

Compliant with IEEE 802.3, SFF-8431, and the SFP+ MSA standard, this cable supports data rates from 1.25 Gbps to 10.31 Gbps and operates across a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Its passive design makes it a cost-effective replacement for short-range optical solutions while reducing Opex associated with transceiver incompatibility. RoHS compliant and fully backed by Arista TAC. Available now at iptrading.com.au — competitive prices and local support.

Features

- Passive copper design — no active components for ultra-low power consumption and high reliability
- Plug-and-play integration with Arista EOS and CloudVision management platforms
- Eliminates optical transceivers — significantly reduces per-port cost for short-range links
- Hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors at both ends for easy installation and replacement
- Supports data rates from 1.25 Gbps up to 10.31 Gbps for flexible deployment
- Ideal for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack server, switch, and storage interconnects
- RoHS compliant — meets environmental standards for enterprise and data centre use
- Fully backed by Arista TAC support, reducing risk of optics incompatibility issues

FAQs

Q: What is the CAB-SFP-SFP-2M used for?
A: It is a 2-metre passive direct attach copper cable used for 10 Gbps short-distance interconnects between switches, servers, or storage in the same rack or adjacent racks within a data centre. It replaces optical transceivers for cost-effective, low-latency connectivity.

Q: Is this cable compatible with non-Arista equipment?
A: The CAB-SFP-SFP-2M conforms to the SFP+ MSA standard and IEEE 802.3 specifications, making it physically compatible with many SFP+ ports. However, it is validated and fully supported for use with Arista EOS-based switches. Compatibility with third-party platforms should be verified before deployment.

Q: Does this cable require any configuration or drivers?
A: No. The cable is fully plug-and-play with Arista EOS and CloudVision. There are no active components, drivers, or firmware required — simply insert it into SFP+ ports at both ends and it is ready to use.

Q: What is the maximum cable length supported?
A: This specific cable is 2 metres in length. Arista offers other DAC cable variants in different lengths (typically up to 5 metres for passive copper) for installations requiring greater reach within or between nearby racks.

Q: Can I purchase this cable in Australia with local support?
A: Yes. The Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-2M is available now at iptrading.com.au. IP Trading is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller offering competitive pricing and local support for Arista products.

Q: What warranty does the CAB-SFP-SFP-2M carry?
A: Arista provides a 1-Year Limited Hardware Warranty covering parts, repair, or replacement with a 10 business day turnaround. Optional Next Business Day and 4-Hour Advance Hardware Replacement support services are also available.
