Description

Add-On X6557-R6-AO 40Gbps QSFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On X6557-R6-AO is a TAA-compliant direct attach copper cable designed for high-speed interconnects within data centers and network closets. It provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for connecting network devices like switches, servers, and storage arrays that utilize QSFP+ ports, eliminating the need for transceivers and fiber cabling over short distances. This cable is specifically engineered for environments requiring adherence to trade agreements.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to be compatible with NetApp systems that utilize the X6557-R6 interface, providing a direct, plug-and-play connection. It is suitable for connecting QSFP+ ports on NetApp storage controllers, switches, and servers, as well as other network equipment featuring standard QSFP+ interfaces.

Installation Notes

Ensure the QSFP+ ports on both connecting devices are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable's connectors are designed for a secure fit; apply firm, even pressure during installation. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage. Maximum recommended bend radius is 50mm.
