Know before you buy
This specific cable is programmed and tested for 100% compatibility with Extreme Networks devices. While it adheres to MSA standards, we recommend using it specifically with Extreme hardware to ensure seamless performance and connectivity.
AOC technology uses fiber optics for the data signal, which allows for a much lighter, thinner cable that can reach distances of up to 50 meters without signal degradation. It is significantly more flexible and easier to manage in high-density data center environments compared to traditional copper cabling.
No, this is a plug-and-play solution. Because it is pre-programmed and serialized for Extreme Networks equipment, it should be recognized immediately by your device without the need for additional software or manual configuration.
Yes, this cable is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act. This makes it suitable for use in government and public sector projects that require products manufactured or substantially transformed in designated countries.
This product is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. If you experience any defects in materials or workmanship, AddOn provides support to ensure your network remains operational.
