This passive copper DAC (Direct Attach Cable) eliminates the need for transceivers in short-reach deployments, making it ideal for high-speed fabric interconnects in data centers and enterprise storage environments. The cable supports full-duplex 40 gigabit transmission with low latency, typical of IBM's networking infrastructure solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with IBM System x servers, Mellanox switches, Arista platforms, and other standards-compliant 40GbE equipment, the 45W6663 reduces power consumption and cooling overhead compared to active optical alternatives. Commonly deployed in ToR (top-of-rack) switching, server-to-switch uplinks, and storage array interconnects where distances remain under 5 meters. The 1.2m length accommodates rack-mount spacing and cable management in standard 19\" cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTested and guaranteed compatible.
