Know before you buy
While this cable is specifically programmed for Brocade infrastructure, it is built to MSA standards. However, for guaranteed compatibility, it is best used within the intended Brocade ecosystem.
This is a passive twinax cable designed for short-range, high-speed connections. It is ideal for linking equipment within the same rack or adjacent racks, up to its 1-meter length.
Generally, no. Because it is built to MSA standards, it should be recognized as a standard SFP+ connection by your Brocade device once plugged in.
TAA compliance indicates that this product meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, making it eligible for purchase by U.S. government agencies and organizations that require products manufactured in designated countries.
A passive twinax cable uses copper conductors to transmit data without signal amplification, making it a cost-effective and low-power solution for short-distance connections. Active cables typically include electronics to boost signals over longer distances.
