Add-On CAB-D-2Q-400G-3M-AO Direct Attach Copper Cable

Overview

The Add-On CAB-D-2Q-400G-3M-AO is a 3-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed networking applications. It provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for connecting network devices within a rack or between adjacent racks in data center environments. This cable is specifically engineered to support 400GbE connections, ensuring robust performance for demanding network infrastructures. The CAB-D-2Q-400G-3M-AO model is ideal for scenarios requiring direct, passive connectivity between QSFP-DD ports.

Compatibility

This 3-meter DAC cable is designed to be compatible with network equipment featuring QSFP-DD ports that support 400GbE speeds. It is engineered to interoperate with Arista networking hardware, providing a reliable link for switches, routers, and servers requiring direct copper interconnects at 400 Gigabits per second.

Installation Notes

Ensure the QSFP-DD ports on both network devices are clean and free of debris before connecting the cable. The connectors are designed for a secure push-pull fit. Verify that the connected devices are powered off before making or breaking connections to prevent potential port damage or network disruption. The passive nature of this DAC cable means it does not require power from the host device beyond standard port power.
