Arista Networks CAB-SFP-SFP-7M Compatible 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 7m (23ft)

For short, high-density connections, this DAC cable combines 10G performance with a fixed 7m (23ft) cable run. It corresponds to Arista Networks CAB-SFP-SFP-7M and uses a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords.

OEM Part Number: CAB-SFP-SFP-7MHT Part Number: CAB-SFP-SFP-7M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Arista Networks CAB-SFP-SFP-7M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), CAB-SFP-SFP-7M
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 24AWG
• Maximum power consumption: ≤0.1W
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

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.

The extended 7m (23ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated DAC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

CAB-SFP-SFP-7M is the longest of 10 verified length options in this family. Compared with CAB-SFP-SFP-6M at 6m (20ft), it provides 1m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

This assembly uses 24AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. 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.

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.

For this Arista Networks application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

This product is ordered as CAB-SFP-SFP-7M in 7m (23ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

Every CAB-SFP-SFP-7M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 7m (23ft) 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.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
