Description

Add-On CAB-Q-Q-0.5M-AO 40Gbps QSFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On CAB-Q-Q-0.5M-AO is a 0.5-meter direct attach copper cable designed for high-speed network interconnects. It provides a cost-effective solution for short-reach 40Gbps connections between network devices, ideal for rack-to-rack or switch-to-server configurations where minimal latency and maximum bandwidth are critical. This cable is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and federal agency deployments.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to be compatible with Arista Networks equipment and other networking gear utilizing QSFP+ ports. It is designed for direct connection between two QSFP+ interfaces, supporting 40GBASE-CU standards. Verify compatibility with your specific switch, router, or server model if not using Arista hardware.

Installation Notes

The QSFP+ connectors feature integrated pull-tabs for secure insertion and removal. Ensure the ports are free of debris before connecting. The cable's 0.5-meter length minimizes signal degradation and cable clutter within a single rack or adjacent racks.
