Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-2M 2m 10GB SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable

The Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-2M is a 2-meter 10 Gigabit SFP+ to SFP+ direct attach copper cable. Arista's catalog describes it as a "10GBASE-CR SFP+ Cable". It is a passive twinax copper cable, so there are no optics to fail and no transceivers in the link.

It plugs into 10G SFP+ ports and is supported on all Arista EOS releases. Arista lists a minimum bend radius of 25mm, so leave room behind the rack for the cable to curve.

If you need a different length, the shorter CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M 1.5m 10G SFP+ direct attach copper cable and the longer CAB-SFP-SFP-2.5M 2.5m 10G SFP+ direct attach copper cable are also available. For longer runs, the AOC-S-S-10G-5M 5m 10G SFP+ active optical cable carries the same speed over fiber. A new CAB-SFP-SFP-2M 2m 10G SFP+ direct attach copper cable is also available.

Label both ends when you install it so the run is easy to trace later, and keep the connectors capped until you are ready to plug them in.

Check that the ports at both ends of the link are set to the same speed before you connect it.

This seller refurbished CAB-SFP-SFP-2M cable is tested, working, and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty.
