Description

The CAB-SFP-SFP-xM-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-1M series. This passive direct attach copper cable connects SFP+ ports in Arista switches and routers running Arista EOS. - Compliant with 10GBASE-CR standard and SFF-8431 MSA for guaranteed interoperability in 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications - Passive twinaxial copper construction with 30 AWG cable and integrated SFP+ connectors at both ends - Data rates from 1.25 Gbps to 10.3125 Gbps supporting 10G Ethernet, 1G Ethernet, and 8G Fibre Channel - Operating temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees C for standard data center environments - Available in seven lengths: 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 2.5m, 3m, 4m, and 5m for flexible rack and adjacent rack connectivity - Hot-pluggable with low power consumption under 0.15W, providing cost-effective short-reach 10G connectivity

Features

• 10GBASE-CR compliance guarantees interoperability with any standards-compliant SFP+ port, enabling mixed-vendor deployments without signal integrity concerns
• Passive copper architecture eliminates active electronics in the cable assembly, resulting in near-zero power draw and zero latency compared to optical or active copper alternatives
• Twinaxial cable construction with 30 AWG conductor provides a balance of flexibility and reach suitable for intra-rack connections up to 5 meters without signal regeneration
• SFF-8431 MSA compliance ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with industry-standard SFP+ cages, including proper grounding and EMI shielding
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring via SFF-8472 provides real-time access to temperature and voltage parameters through standard I2C interface for system health monitoring
• Hot-swap capability allows installation and removal with switch powered on, supporting maintenance windows and incremental infrastructure changes without downtime
• Low bend radius and PVC jacket suited to high-density top-of-rack deployments where cable management and airflow are critical design factors

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-1M?
A: Yes. This cable is a plug-and-play drop-in replacement for the Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-1M and related length variants. It meets the 10GBASE-CR standard, uses the same SFP+ form factor, and operates at the same 10.3125 Gbps data rate as the OEM part. It will work in any Arista SFP+ or SFP25 port that supports direct attach copper.

Q: Which Arista platforms support this cable?
A: This cable is compatible with all Arista switches and routers that have SFP+ or SFP25 ports and run Arista EOS software. This includes data center switches in the 7000, 7100, 7200, 7300, and 7500 series, as well as campus and routing platforms with 10G SFP+ ports. Consult the Arista Transceiver and Cable Guide for platform-specific EOS version requirements.

Q: Can I use the longer lengths like 4m or 5m for passive 10G DAC, or do I need active cable?
A: All seven lengths in this family (1m to 5m) use passive copper and are suitable for 10GBASE-CR links. Passive DAC is typically reliable up to 5 meters when both ends have adequate equalization and pre-emphasis capability, which Arista SFP+ ports provide. Beyond 5 meters you would typically move to active copper or optical.

Q: Does this cable support 1G or 25G speeds, or only 10G?
A: The cable hardware supports data rates from 1.25 to 10.3125 Gbps, so it can handle 1G Ethernet and 8G Fibre Channel in addition to 10G Ethernet. However, 25G operation is not supported as the cable is specified for 10GBASE-CR. If you configure an Arista SFP25 port for 25G, you must use a 25GBASE-CR cable instead (CAB-S-S-25G-xM).

Q: What is the maximum bend radius for this cable, and does cable routing affect signal integrity?
A: The minimum bend radius is approximately 22mm (5 times the cable outer diameter for 30 AWG construction). Tighter bends can damage the twinaxial pair structure and degrade signal integrity, particularly over longer lengths. Route cables with gentle curves and avoid sharp corners or crimping, especially in high-density environments where multiple cables are bundled together.
