Add-On CBL-10GSFP-DAC-7M-AO 7M Direct Attach Copper Cable
Overview
The Add-On CBL-10GSFP-DAC-7M-AO is a 7-meter TAA-compliant Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable. It provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity between SFP+ ports on network switches, servers, and storage devices within rack environments. This cable is designed for short-reach applications, eliminating the need for transceivers and fiber optic cabling, thereby reducing complexity and potential points of failure. Its 7-meter length offers flexibility for connecting equipment across adjacent racks or within a larger rack configuration. The TAA compliance ensures it meets government procurement requirements.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for use with any networking equipment featuring SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) ports that support 10GBASE-CU standards. It is compatible with a wide range of network switches, including those from brands like Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Dell, HP, and others that utilize standard SFP+ interfaces. It is also suitable for connecting servers and storage arrays equipped with SFP+ network interface cards (NICs) or adapters. Specifically, it is compatible with ADDON FORCE10 NETWORKS equipment and any other vendor adhering to SFP+ MSA standards.
Installation Notes
The SFP+ connectors on this DAC cable are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be installed or removed from active equipment without requiring a system reboot. Ensure the SFP+ ports on both devices are clean and free of debris before insertion. Gently push the connector until it clicks into place, indicating a secure connection. Avoid excessive force. The cable is designed for indoor use within controlled environments, such as data centers or network closets. Operating temperature range is typically 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F).
