Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-1M SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable - 1 m - Black

The Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-1M is a high-performance SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. This passive twinax cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for short-range interconnects in data centers, storage area networks (SAN), and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. With a length of 1 meter, it is ideal for connecting switches, servers, and storage devices within the same rack or adjacent racks.

Advantages

This DAC cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber optic cabling, reducing cost and complexity. It offers reliable 10 Gbps performance with zero power consumption, making it an energy-efficient choice. The passive design ensures plug-and-play installation without configuration, and the gold-plated connectors provide excellent signal integrity and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row cabling
• Storage area network (SAN) connectivity
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Network equipment interconnects (switches, routers, servers)
