Arista Direct Attach Cable - SFP+ M to SFP+ M - 1m Passive Copper Twinax DAC

The Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-0.5M is a high-performance direct attach cable (DAC) designed for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data center environments. This passive copper twinax cable features SFP+ connectors on both ends, providing a cost-effective and low-power solution for short-range interconnects between servers, switches, and storage devices.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers several key benefits: low power consumption (<0.1W per end), hot-swappable design for easy installation, and compliance with IEEE 802.3ae (10GBASE-CR) standards. The passive design ensures zero latency and high signal integrity, while the PVC jacket provides durability and flexibility for cable management.
