NEW Third Party for Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-7M 7m 10GB SFP+ DAC Cable

This is a third-party 7-meter 10 Gigabit SFP+ to SFP+ passive direct attach copper (twinax) cable sold for use with Arista switches. It is not an Arista-manufactured part. It carries 10GBASE-CR over copper and plugs straight into SFP+ ports at each end, with no separate transceivers.

Arista sells its own 10G SFP+ copper cables, the CAB-SFP-SFP series, in lengths up to 5 meters, so a 7-meter passive cable is longer than any Arista lists. Arista switches may treat a third-party cable differently from a genuine one, so confirm how your switch handles third-party cables before you rely on it in production. Arista does not restrict third-party passive copper cables that meet the IEEE specifications, but cables the switch does not recognize can be disabled.

If you would rather use a genuine Arista cable, the Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-5M 5m 10G SFP+ direct attach copper cable is available. For longer runs, the Arista AOC-S-S-10G-7M 7m 10G SFP+ active optical cable carries the same speed over multimode fiber. Label both ends when you install it so the run is easy to trace later.

This third-party cable is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
