Arista Networks CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M Compatible 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 1.5m (5ft)

With a fixed 1.5m (5ft) cable and SFP+ to SFP+, the CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M compatible assembly simplifies 10G deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for Arista Networks equipment.

OEM Part Number: CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5MHT Part Number: CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Arista Networks CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1.5m (5ft), CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Maximum power consumption: ≤0.1W
• Minimum bend radius: 23mm

The rated power consumption is ≤0.1W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

The additional half metre beyond a one-metre assembly gives CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M useful routing flexibility when the ports are not directly aligned. It can accommodate a different rack unit or a short service loop, but excess cable should be dressed loosely rather than folded into a tight coil.

CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M occupies the middle of this family between CAB-SFP-SFP-1M at 1m (3ft) and CAB-SFP-SFP-2M at 2m (7ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 23mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The intended application is 10G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include 1x InfiniBand QDR, DDR, SDR, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

When ordering, specify CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M, cable length 1.5m (5ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

Every CAB-SFP-SFP-1.5M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 1.5m (5ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
