Description

Add-On SFP-56G-PDAC1M-AO Passive Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On SFP-56G-PDAC1M-AO is a 1-meter passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed 56Gbps connections between SFP56 ports. This cable is essential for building dense, high-bandwidth network infrastructure in data centers and enterprise environments where direct, short-reach connectivity is required. Its passive design means it draws power directly from the host equipment, simplifying deployment and reducing potential points of failure. This specific model is MSA and TAA compliant, ensuring broad compatibility and adherence to procurement requirements.

Compatibility

This SFP56 DAC cable is engineered for compatibility with any networking device featuring SFP56 ports, including switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards (NICs) that adhere to the SFP+ MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards. It is suitable for connecting equipment from various manufacturers that support 56Gbps SFP56 interfaces. Verify your equipment's SFP56 port specifications to ensure seamless integration.

Installation Notes

The SFP-56G-PDAC1M-AO requires no external power source, drawing power directly from the host SFP56 ports. Ensure the SFP56 ports on your equipment are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is designed for short-reach applications, typically within a single rack or between adjacent racks. For optimal performance and to prevent signal degradation, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable.
