Add-On MA-CBL-40G-7M-AO Direct Attach Copper Cable
Overview
The Add-On MA-CBL-40G-7M-AO is a 7-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed, short-reach network connections. It provides a cost-effective and low-power alternative to fiber optics for inter-switch or switch-to-server links within a rack or adjacent racks. This cable is critical for maintaining network throughput in environments requiring substantial data transfer, such as data centers or high-performance computing clusters.
Compatibility
This cable is specifically designed as a Cisco Meraki compatible component. It is intended for use with Meraki switches and other network devices that support 40Gbps SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) interfaces. Verify your equipment's SFP+ port compatibility for 40Gbps DAC connections.
Installation Notes
Ensure the SFP+ modules on both ends of the cable are clean and properly seated. The cable should be handled with care to avoid damage to the connectors. Connectors are typically push-to-release or tab-release mechanisms. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable's minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation or damage.
