Description

Add-On SFP-28G-PDAC1-5M-BE-AO 25G Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On SFP-28G-PDAC1-5M-BE-AO is a 5-meter passive twinax direct attach cable designed for high-speed 25GBASE-CU connections between SFP28 ports. This cable is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and enterprise deployments that require adherence to trade agreements. It provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any networking equipment featuring SFP28 ports that support MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards. This includes a wide range of switches, servers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers. It is designed for direct connection between two SFP28 interfaces, enabling 25 Gigabit Ethernet communication.

Installation Notes

Ensure the SFP28 transceivers on both ends are securely seated in their respective ports. The passive nature of this cable means it draws minimal power and does not require configuration. For optimal performance and signal integrity, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable during installation.
