Add-On CAB-D-4Q-400G-3M-AO Direct Attach Copper Cable
Overview
The Add-On CAB-D-4Q-400G-3M-AO is a 3-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-density data center environments. It enables direct, cost-effective connectivity between network devices, specifically supporting four independent 100 Gigabit Ethernet (4x100G) links via QSFP28 connectors. This cable is critical for short-reach interconnects within racks or adjacent racks where fiber optic transceivers are not required, reducing both cost and power consumption.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered to be compatible with Arista networking equipment supporting 4x100G QSFP28 interfaces. It is suitable for connecting Arista switches, routers, and servers that utilize these high-speed port configurations. Verify your specific Arista model's QSFP28 port specifications to ensure compatibility.
Installation Notes
The CAB-D-4Q-400G-3M-AO features QSFP28 connectors that plug directly into the corresponding ports on network equipment. Ensure the connectors are fully seated to establish a stable connection. The 3-meter length provides flexibility for intra-rack or adjacent-rack cabling. No external power source is required for DAC cables; they draw power directly from the host equipment's ports.
