About the X6561-R6
X6561-R6 is a NetApp Cat 6 RJ-45 Ethernet cable that appears in the cabling tables of the ONTAP hardware systems installation guides. NetApp lists it among the cables you may receive with a storage system and uses it for management network and Ethernet data connections. Cables of this kind are traded as loose accessories and are quoted by exact part number and length, so the suffix after the base number matters when you buy or sell one.
Compatibility
The NetApp installation guides for FAS2820 list X6561-R6. The guides tell the installer to look up any cable that is not in their table in the NetApp Hardware Universe, which needs a NetApp sign-in and was not opened for this entry. The same base number is sold in several lengths and the guides list different lengths for different platforms, so match the full part number and not just the base. The listing says nothing about other platforms of the same generation, and this page does not extend it to them.
