About the CAB-S-S-10G-3M
The Arista CAB-S-S-10G-3M direct attach copper cable assembly provides high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for intra-rack equipment interconnects and top-of-rack server connections. Constructed with shielded twinaxial copper cabling and factory-terminated SFP+ connector heads, it delivers low latency with minimal electrical power consumption.
Compatibility
Compatible with Arista 7050, 7150, 720XP, and 7280 Series switches. It connects switch ports, storage arrays, and network interface cards directly without requiring separate optical transceivers or external transceivers, delivering reliable short-reach rack connectivity.
How to identify a genuine unit
Features a heavy duty flexible black twinaxial cable jacket terminated with zinc die-cast SFP+ connector hoods. Both connector ends include an ergonomic pull tab release mechanism and an adhesive label showing Arista part number CAB-S-S-10G-3M, serial number, and cable length.
Buying used
Inspect the cable jacket along its full length for sharp kinks, crush marks, or sheath tears. Check the gold-plated connector contacts for wear or contamination, plug both ends into target switch ports, and confirm immediate link synchronization with zero frame errors.
