Description

The Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-3M is a 10GBASE-CR passive direct attach copper (DAC) Twinax cable designed for cost-effective, low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects within the data centre. With fixed SFP+ connectors on both ends and a 3-metre reach, it is ideal for short-range switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, and switch-to-NIC connections where active optics would be unnecessary overhead. Drawing just 0.1W passively, it eliminates the need for any external power source while delivering data rates up to 10.5 Gbps.

Fully compliant with SFP+ MSA, IEEE 802.3, SFF-8431, and RoHS standards, this cable supports 10G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, and SONET applications. The zinc die-cast SFP+ connectors provide superior EMI/EMC performance under the Improved Pluggable Form Factor (IPF) specification. Compatible with a wide range of Arista switches, routers, NICs, and network storage systems, it is a reliable choice for high-density rack deployments.

FAQs

Q: What devices is the CAB-SFP-SFP-3M compatible with?
A: This cable is compatible with a wide range of Arista switches (such as the 7050, 7060, and 7280 series), routers, NICs, and network storage systems that feature SFP+ ports. It is also broadly compatible with third-party SFP+ equipment that adheres to the SFP+ MSA and SFF-8431 standards.

Q: Is this a passive or active DAC cable?
A: The CAB-SFP-SFP-3M is a passive DAC cable. It contains no active components or lasers, drawing only 0.1W from the host port. This makes it extremely power-efficient and cost-effective compared to active optical cables or transceivers.

Q: What is the maximum data rate supported by this cable?
A: The cable supports data rates up to 10.5 Gbps, making it fully compliant with 10GBASE-CR (10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper) specifications.

Q: Can I use this cable for applications other than Ethernet?
A: Yes. In addition to 10G Ethernet, the CAB-SFP-SFP-3M also supports Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, and SONET applications, making it a versatile interconnect solution for mixed data centre environments.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-3M in Australia?
A: Yes. The CAB-SFP-SFP-3M is available for purchase through iptrading.com.au, an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist. IP Trading stocks Arista networking accessories and can assist with bulk orders, compatibility queries, and fast local delivery.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for this cable?
A: The CAB-SFP-SFP-3M has a commercial operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, making it suitable for standard data centre and server room environments.
