Add-On SFP-28G-PDAC1M-BE-AO 1m SFP28 Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On SFP-28G-PDAC1M-BE-AO is a 1-meter passive twinaxial direct attach cable assembly. It terminates in SFP28 connectors on both ends, enabling 25Gbps Ethernet connectivity between network devices. This cable is designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth applications within racks or adjacent racks, commonly found in data centers and enterprise network closets where high-speed interconnects are critical for server, switch, and storage communication. Its passive design means it draws no power from the host ports, simplifying integration and reducing potential points of failure.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any networking equipment featuring SFP28 ports. This includes a wide range of enterprise switches, network interface cards (NICs), and servers from various manufacturers that support the SFP28 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standard. It is suitable for use with devices requiring 25GBASE-CR connectivity.

Installation Notes

Ensure the SFP28 ports on your equipment are clean before inserting the cable connectors. The cable is passive, so no power configuration is required. For optimal performance and to prevent damage, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable. The connectors are designed for a secure, snap-in fit.
