Add-On SOLR-QSFP1SFP28-5MP-AO Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On Solarflare SOLR-QSFP1SFP28-5MP-AO is a direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed network connectivity. It provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for connecting network devices within racks or adjacent racks, commonly found in data centers and enterprise network closets. This cable ensures reliable data transfer for applications requiring high bandwidth, such as server-to-server communication or switch-to-switch uplinks.

Compatibility

This DAC cable is engineered to interface with QSFP28 ports on network switches, servers, and other compatible networking hardware. It is designed for direct integration with devices supporting the QSFP28 form factor, enabling 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) connections. Verify your network equipment utilizes QSFP28 ports for successful deployment.

Installation Notes

The SOLR-QSFP1SFP28-5MP-AO features integrated QSFP28 transceivers on both ends, eliminating the need for separate fiber optic transceivers and patch cables. Simply plug the connectors directly into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your network devices. Ensure the locking mechanisms on the connectors are fully engaged to maintain a secure connection. The cable's passive nature means it does not require power from the host device.
