Add-On SFP-H25G-CU3-5M-AO Direct Attach Copper Cable

Overview

The Add-On SFP-H25G-CU3-5M-AO is a 3.5-meter direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed network connections. It terminates in SFP+ connectors, enabling direct, short-reach connectivity between network devices like switches, servers, and storage arrays. This cable is ideal for data center top-of-rack deployments or inter-switch links where signal integrity and cost-effectiveness are paramount.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with Cisco SFP+ ports and other network equipment utilizing the SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) interface standard. It is designed to function seamlessly with devices supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and Fibre Channel applications that require SFP+ transceivers. Specific compatibility extends to Cisco Nexus switches, Catalyst switches, and servers equipped with SFP+ network interface cards.

Installation Notes

The SFP+ connectors feature a pull-tab mechanism for secure insertion and removal. Ensure the SFP+ ports on your network devices are clean before inserting the cable. The cable's 3.5-meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections without excessive slack. No external power source is required; the cable draws minimal power from the host SFP+ ports.
