CBO DAC cable for Alcatel‑Lucent OS6865 — model OS6865-CBL-300, length 300 m

CBO DAC cable for Alcatel‑Lucent OS6865 — model OS6865-CBL-300, length 300 m is a pre‑terminated direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed to provide a stable physical connection between compatible Alcatel‑Lucent OS6865 switches and supported transceivers. The cable offers a fixed copper link for short-range, high‑speed data transmission in rack, server and switch interconnects. This 300 m length supplies a ready-to-install solution where a soldered or field‑terminated connection is not practical, simplifying cabling in data center topologies and server rooms.

Advantages

The CBO DAC cable delivers predictable electrical performance for short‑range Ethernet and Fibre Channel interconnects without the need for separate transceivers. Its pre‑terminated construction reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of connector mismatch. The cable is compatible with equipment that accepts DAC copper links for the specified interface type and supports consistent signal integrity across the specified distance. The fixed length and factory termination support straightforward inventory management and predictable deployment in structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row switch interconnects
• Server uplinks and aggregation ports requiring short-range copper links
• Environments where pre‑terminated, plug-and-play cabling reduces installation time

Key specifications

• Cable type: direct attach copper (DAC), pre‑terminated
• Length: 300 m
• Connector style: factory‑fitted copper DAC connectors compatible with supported Alcatel‑Lucent interfaces
• Application: short‑range, high‑speed links for switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections
• Physical: fixed‑length copper assembly for structured cabling

How to use

Install the CBO DAC cable by plugging each factory‑terminated connector into the appropriate port on the Alcatel‑Lucent OS6865 switches or compatible transceivers. Ensure both ends are fully seated and secured according to the equipment manufacturer's port access procedure. Route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid sharp bends, excessive strain, and electromagnetic interference sources. Verify link status and speed through the switch management interface after connection.

Recommendations

Use this 300 m DAC cable in short‑distance scenarios within the same equipment room or within adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with the OS6865 port specifications and supported copper DAC interface types before installation. Avoid running the cable alongside high‑power electrical lines and maintain bend radius limits specified by the cable manufacturer to preserve signal integrity.
