Description

Blue Cable Co 25GbE SFP28 passive direct attach copper (DAC) cables are a power-efficient, plug-and-play alternative to optical fibre for short-reach 25G connections between SFP28 ports, compatible with NVIDIA Mellanox platforms. Available in lengths from 1m to 5m, cables up to 2m operate as CA-25G-N (no FEC required) for low-latency deployments, while 2.5m to 5m variants are CA-25G-L and require RS-FEC to be enabled on the host. All variants feature an LSZH jacket and are tested in our state-of-the-art lab in Sydney, Australia to ensure NVIDIA Mellanox platform compatibility. Stocked and shipped from Sydney, Australia, and backed by Blue Cable Co's 5-year advanced hardware replacement warranty.

FAQs

Q1: Which NVIDIA Mellanox platforms are these 25GbE SFP28 DAC cables compatible with?
A1: These passive DAC cables are compatible with NVIDIA Mellanox platforms equipped with SFP28 ports supporting 25GbE direct attach copper connections. They are designed as compatible replacements for the OEM MCP2M00-A0xxxxxx series. Contact our team to confirm fit for a specific switch or NIC before ordering.

Q2: What lengths are available, and how do I choose the right one?
A2: Seven lengths are available: 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 2.5m, 3m, 4m, and 5m. For within-rack connections, 1m to 2m is typically sufficient. The 2.5m to 5m options suit connections across adjacent racks or wider bay configurations. Note that the FEC requirement differs by length — see below.

Q3: What is the difference between CA-25G-N and CA-25G-L, and does it affect my switch configuration?
A3: Yes, it does. The 1m, 1.5m, and 2m cables are CA-25G-N (No FEC) — they operate without Forward Error Correction and deliver lower latency. The 2.5m, 3m, 4m, and 5m cables are CA-25G-L (Long) and require RS-FEC (Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction) to be enabled on the host switch port. If RS-FEC is not enabled on the host when using a CA-L cable, the link may not establish correctly. Check your switch's port FEC configuration before deploying the longer variants.

Q4: Do these cables have an LSZH jacket — are they suitable for data centre raised-floor or plenum environments?
A4: Yes. All variants in this range use an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, which limits toxic gas and smoke emission in the event of a fire. They also use halogen-free PCB construction. Check your site's specific cabling standards to confirm suitability for your installation environment.

Q5: Are these cables available for fast dispatch within Australia?
A5: Yes. The full length range is stocked in Sydney, Australia for fast local dispatch, and all variants are covered by Blue Cable Co's 5-year advanced hardware replacement warranty.
