Description

The CPAC-DAC-25G-xM-D-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Checkpoint CPAC-DAC-25G-1M-D. This passive copper twinax cable provides plug-and-play connectivity for Checkpoint security appliances with SFP28 ports. - IEEE 802.3by 25GBASE-CR1 and SFF-8402 SFP28 MSA compliance ensures interoperability with standards-compliant 25G Ethernet equipment - SFP28 form factor with 30AWG twinax copper cable delivering 25.78 Gbps data rate for short-reach interconnects up to 5 meters - Available in 1M, 2M, and 5M lengths to support flexible rack and adjacent-rack topologies in data center environments - Passive copper design offers lower power consumption and cost compared to optical solutions for intra-rack connectivity - 0 to 70 degrees C operating temperature range suitable for standard networking environments

Features

• IEEE 802.3by 25GBASE-CR1 standard compliance guarantees interoperability with any standards-compliant 25G Ethernet SFP28 port, independent of vendor coding
• Passive copper architecture requires no external power, dissipating less than 0.2W total across both connectors compared to active optical alternatives
• 30AWG twin-axial copper pair delivers full 25.78 Gbps throughput with low crosstalk and signal integrity suitable for lengths up to 5 meters
• SFF-8402 and SFF-8432 MSA form factor compliance with 20-pin edge-type connectors ensures hot-swap capability without system interruption
• Twinax construction provides inherent EMI shielding and does not require transceivers, reducing points of failure compared to fibre with separate optics
• 1M and 2M lengths operate without FEC requirement on host ports, while 5M length may require BASE-R FEC depending on platform implementation
• Memory map accessible via I2C interface supports diagnostic monitoring where the host platform provides DDM capability

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Checkpoint CPAC-DAC-25G-1M-D?
A: Yes. This cable is a direct replacement based on the same IEEE 802.3by 25GBASE-CR1 standard and SFF-8402 SFP28 form factor. It will plug-and-play in any Checkpoint appliance that specifies the CPAC-DAC-25G-1M-D, CPAC-DAC-25G-2M-D, or CPAC-DAC-25G-5M-D depending on the length you select.

Q: Which Checkpoint appliances support this cable?
A: This cable is designed for use in Checkpoint security appliances with 25G SFP28 ports. Compatible models include those in the Quantum series and Maestro chassis that feature SFP28 interfaces. If your appliance has a 25G SFP28 port and calls for a CPAC-DAC-25G passive DAC, this cable will function correctly.

Q: Do I need to enable FEC on the switch ports for this cable to work?
A: The 1M and 2M lengths typically operate without FEC on most platforms. The 5M length may require BASE-R FEC (also called FC-FEC) depending on your specific hardware. FEC requirements vary by vendor implementation. If your current CPAC-DAC-25G cable works without FEC, this replacement will behave identically.

Q: Can this cable be used between different vendor equipment, such as Checkpoint to Cisco?
A: Yes. Because this cable conforms to IEEE 802.3by 25GBASE-CR1 and SFF-8402 standards, it will function between any two devices with 25G SFP28 ports that support 25GBASE-CR1, regardless of manufacturer. The cable carries an electrical signal with no vendor-specific encoding, making it inherently multi-vendor compatible.

Q: What is the minimum bend radius, and will this cable fit in tight rack spaces?
A: The 30AWG twinax cable supports a minimum bend radius of approximately 25mm during installation. This makes it suitable for high-density rack environments where cable routing space is constrained. The passive design also reduces heat generation compared to active cables, which is advantageous in densely populated equipment rooms.
