Panduit PSF1PZA3MBU Concise Descriptor
Overview
The Panduit PSF1PZA3MBU is a 3-meter SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed for high-speed, short-reach network interconnects. This passive cable assembly is engineered for reliable data transmission in environments requiring direct server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections, such as within a rack or between adjacent racks. It offers a cost-effective alternative to fiber optics for these specific applications, eliminating the need for transceivers and fiber cabling. The PSF1PZA3MBU model provides a 3-meter length, suitable for standard rack layouts.
Compatibility
This SFP+ DAC cable is compatible with any networking equipment featuring standard SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) ports operating at 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. This includes a wide range of switches, servers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers that adhere to the SFP+ MSA (Multi-Source Agreement). Specific compatible families include, but are not limited to, Cisco Nexus switches, Arista 7000 series, Juniper QFX series, and HP ProCurve switches equipped with SFP+ ports. It is designed for direct connection without requiring specific firmware or drivers on the host equipment.
Installation Notes
Installation involves simply plugging the SFP+ connectors into the corresponding SFP+ ports on your network devices. Ensure the port is clean and the cable is inserted firmly until the locking mechanism engages. For optimal performance and to prevent accidental disconnection, ensure the cable is routed to avoid excessive tension or sharp bends. The passive nature of this cable means it draws minimal power from the host ports. No specific torque specifications are required beyond a secure physical connection.
