Know before you buy
While this cable is specifically coded for seamless integration with Mellanox systems, it is MSA compliant. This means it adheres to standard industry specifications and should function with other networking equipment that supports SFP28 direct attach cables.
This is a passive copper cable, which is designed for short-range, high-speed connections. It measures 2.5 meters (approximately 8.2 feet), making it ideal for connecting devices within the same rack or adjacent racks in a data center.
No, this is a passive direct attach cable (DAC). It does not require external power, which helps reduce power consumption and heat generation within your server environment.
TAA compliance indicates that this product meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, meaning it is manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or another designated country. This is often a requirement for government or public sector procurement contracts.
Yes, SFP28 ports are generally backward compatible with SFP+ standards. You can typically use this 25Gbps cable in a 10Gbps environment, though you should verify your specific switch or network interface card settings to ensure proper negotiation.
