CBO Avaya AA1404028-20M QSFP kábel 20 m

CBO Avaya AA1404028-20M QSFP cable 20 m is a pre-terminated passive QSFP direct-attach cable designed to connect compatible QSFP ports in networking and data center equipment. The fixed 20-meter length provides a convenient mid-range connection without the need for separate transceivers, reducing connector assembly and simplifying rack-to-rack or switch-to-switch links. The cable is intended for environments where a reliable, factory-terminated high-speed interconnect is required for short- to mid-range applications.

Advantages

This CBO passive QSFP cable delivers a straightforward installation process thanks to its factory terminations and standardized QSFP interfaces. The fixed 20 m length avoids field termination and ensures consistent signal performance over the intended distance. Compatibility with Avaya QSFP ports and similar network equipment provides a plug-and-play solution for high-density racks and data center topologies. The design reduces the need for additional optical transceivers and associated power consumption and cooling considerations.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch links within the same room or adjacent rooms
• High-density top-of-rack deployments requiring direct QSFP interconnects
• Temporary or permanent mid-range links where a pre-terminated 20 m cable simplifies installation

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Passive copper direct-attach cable
• Fixed length: 20 meters
• Typical use: Short- to mid-range high-speed interconnects
• Power: Passive cabling, no active electronics in-line

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP port on the networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the device manufacturers when connecting live equipment. Verify link status through the equipment management interface and monitor for expected data rates and link lights. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use the cable in controlled data center environments with proper airflow and cable management. Avoid running the cable near high-interference power sources. For installations requiring longer distances or optical isolation, consider active or fiber-based QSFP solutions. Follow vendor compatibility lists for guaranteed interoperability and update device firmware where necessary to ensure full feature compatibility.
