Know before you buy
This cable is designed for short-reach connections, such as linking switches within the same rack or adjacent racks. Its 0.65-meter length helps reduce cable clutter in high-density networking environments.
While it is specifically engineered for the Aruba 8325 Series, it uses standard SFP28 connectors. It should work with most standard SFP28 ports, though we recommend verifying your specific hardware's compatibility list to ensure optimal performance.
This cable is optimized for 25G throughput. While some SFP28 ports are backward compatible with 10G SFP+ modules, performance depends entirely on the specific switch or network interface card you are using.
No, this is a Direct Attach Cable (DAC), meaning the transceivers are integrated directly into the ends of the cable. It is pre-terminated and ready to plug in immediately.
No, this cable is intended only for short-range, intra-rack connections. If you need to connect devices across a room or between different areas of a facility, you will need an optical fiber solution instead.
