Lenovo 00KF006 3M MELLANOX QSFP PASSIVE DAC CABLE

Overview

The Lenovo 00KF006 is a 3-meter passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed data center interconnects. It features QSFP connectors on both ends, enabling direct server-to-server or switch-to-switch connections at speeds up to 40Gbps. This cable is ideal for rack-level deployments where short-reach, high-bandwidth connectivity is critical, such as within a server chassis or between adjacent racks.

Compatibility

This QSFP cable is compatible with any equipment featuring QSFP ports, including many Lenovo servers, switches, and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. It supports the InfiniBand protocol, making it suitable for HPC clusters and high-frequency trading environments. Ensure your connected devices utilize QSFP ports for successful integration.

Installation Notes

The cable requires QSFP ports on both connecting devices. Its passive design means it draws power directly from the host ports, simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure. Dimensions are 12.00 x 2.00 x 10.00 inches (L x W x H) with a weight of 1.20 lbs, facilitating straightforward rack management. The black and blue color scheme aids in identification.
