FAQs

Q: What is the maximum distance supported by this cable?
A: The CAB-S-S-25G-3M is a 3-meter passive copper cable designed for short-reach connections within a rack or between adjacent racks in data centers.

Q: Can this cable support 10G speeds?
A: Yes, this cable supports dual-rate operation and can run at both 25G (25.78 Gbps) and 10G (10.31 Gbps) depending on the port configuration.

Q: Is this cable compatible with other vendors' equipment?
A: While designed for Arista switches, compatible third-party versions are available that work with other vendors' SFP28 ports. Always verify compatibility with your specific switch model before deployment.

Q: Does this cable require external power?
A: No, this is a passive DAC cable that draws minimal power (0.5-0.57W per end) directly from the host equipment and does not require external power supplies.

Q: What are the advantages of DAC cables over optical transceivers?
A: DAC cables offer lower cost, lower power consumption, and reduced latency compared to optical transceivers for short-distance connections, making them ideal for intra-rack and inter-rack connectivity in data centers.
