Cisco MA-CBL-TA-1M 1m Twinaxial Cable

A slow or unreliable connection between your switches can cripple network performance, causing dropped packets and costly downtime. The Cisco MA-CBL-TA-1M 1m Twinaxial Cable is a high-quality direct-attach solution that links SFP+ ports quickly and securely, giving you a stable, low-latency link for short-range connections without the need for separate transceivers.

Cisco MA-CBL-TA-1M 1m Twinaxial Cable - the simple fix for short-run, high-speed links

When you need to connect two SFP+ devices within a rack or between adjacent racks, the main challenge is finding a cable that delivers full 10 Gbps performance while keeping the installation tidy and cost-effective. Using separate transceivers and fibre adds expense and extra space. This twinaxial cable eliminates those issues by providing a plug-and-play, direct-attach connection that maintains signal integrity over distances up to 8.5 metres, making it ideal for dense data-centre environments.

Usages of Cisco MA-CBL-TA-1M 1m Twinaxial Cable

The cable fits perfectly in a range of scenarios:

• Connecting SFP+ ports on top-of-rack switches within the same rack.
• Linking adjacent switches in a stack to create a unified fabric.
• Attaching servers with SFP+ network adapters to a switch for high-speed access.
• Extending uplink connections between a core switch and a distribution switch in a compact layout.
• Providing a reliable link for test and lab environments where quick re-configuration is required.
