FAQs

Q: What is the maximum data rate supported by the CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M?
A: This cable supports data rates up to 10.5 Gbps and is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-CU), 8G Fibre Channel, and 10G Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) applications.

Q: Is this cable compatible with non-Arista equipment?
A: Yes, the CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M follows MSA industry standards and is compatible with any SFP+ ports that support 10G direct attach copper cables, though it is optimized for use with Arista switches, routers, and network interface cards.

Q: What are the typical use cases for this 1.5m DAC cable?
A: Common applications include top-of-rack switching in data centres, short-reach interconnects between network equipment, high-density server-to-switch connections, network attached storage, and high-performance computing clusters where low latency and cost-effective connectivity are required.

Q: Does this cable require external power or active components?
A: No, this is a passive direct attach copper cable that draws minimal power (max 0.57W per end) directly from the SFP+ port. It does not require external power sources or active signal amplification, making it highly energy-efficient for short-reach connections.

Q: Can this cable be used for outdoor or industrial environments?
A: This cable is rated for standard commercial operating temperatures (0°C to 70°C) and is designed for indoor data centre and enterprise networking environments. For harsh industrial or outdoor applications, consider ruggedized cabling solutions.
