Description

The Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-5M is a 10GBASE-CR SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable delivering 10 Gbps connectivity over a 5-metre passive Twinax link. Designed for cost-effective short-range interconnects in data centre and high-performance computing environments, it eliminates the need for active optical transceivers — reducing both cost and power consumption. Ideal for top-of-rack switching, in-rack and rack-to-rack connections where low latency and high throughput are essential.

Built to SFP+ MSA, IEEE 802.3, and SFF-8431 standards, this cable offers broad compatibility with Arista switches and routers alongside third-party SFP+ equipment. It supports 10G Ethernet, 1–8G Fibre Channel, and 10G FCoE applications, with hot-pluggable connectors for easy installation. RoHS compliant and rated for commercial operating temperatures.

FAQs

Q: What is the maximum cable length supported by the CAB-SFP-SFP-5M?
A: The CAB-SFP-SFP-5M supports a cable length of 5 metres (16.4 ft), making it suitable for in-rack and rack-to-rack connections within data centre environments.

Q: Is this a passive or active DAC cable?
A: This is a passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Twinax cable. It contains no active electronic components, which means lower power consumption and reduced heat generation compared to active optical or active copper alternatives.

Q: Which Arista switches and platforms is the CAB-SFP-SFP-5M compatible with?
A: The CAB-SFP-SFP-5M is compatible with Arista switches and routers equipped with SFP+ ports, including the 7000 and 7500 series platforms. It also supports third-party SFP+ MSA-compliant equipment, though compatibility should be verified with the specific vendor.

Q: What protocols does this DAC cable support beyond standard 10G Ethernet?
A: In addition to 10G Ethernet (10GBASE-CR), the cable supports 1–8G Fibre Channel and 10G FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), providing flexibility for converged storage and networking infrastructure.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-5M in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller offering the Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-5M with expert pre-sales support. Contact the team for volume pricing, lead times, and compatibility advice.

Q: Is the CAB-SFP-SFP-5M RoHS compliant?
