Know before you buy
While this cable is specifically programmed for Fortinet compatibility, it is built to MSA standards. However, for guaranteed performance and system recognition, we recommend using it only with Fortinet equipment.
No, this is a passive copper twinax cable. It draws minimal power directly from the connected ports, making it an efficient choice for high-speed data transfer without the need for additional power supplies.
TAA compliance indicates that the product is manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country. This is a requirement for many government contracts and specific enterprise-level procurement policies.
This 3-meter (9.8-foot) cable is designed for short-reach connections, typically within a single rack or between adjacent server cabinets. Because it is a passive copper cable, it is not suitable for long-distance networking.
Every Proline cable is individually programmed, uniquely serialized, and tested for data traffic before shipping. This process ensures the cable meets 100% of the required specifications for your specific hardware.
