The NETAPP 112-00297 is an ultra-short, 0.5-meter cable featuring Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) connectors at both ends, designed for high-speed data connectivity between devices with SFP+ interfaces. This direct attach copper (DAC) cable is ideal for very close connections, such as those within a single network rack, where minimal cable length is necessary to reduce clutter and improve airflow, thereby enhancing overall system performance and reliability. Despite its compact size, this cable is capable of supporting data transfer rates necessary for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, making it an excellent choice for connecting high-speed switches, routers, and storage arrays, including NetApp systems. It offers a cost-effective, low-power alternative to optical modules for short-distance connections, providing both efficient and reliable high-speed data transmission. The construction of the NETAPP 112-00297 cable focuses on high-quality materials and shielding to minimize interference and signal degradation, ensuring optimal network performance for data-intensive applications.
