Avaya Active Fabric Interconnect - Stacking-kabel

High-density network environments demand reliable, high-speed interconnects that eliminate bottlenecks and simplify cabling. The Avaya Active Fabric Interconnect Stacking Cable is a direct attach copper (DAC) solution engineered for seamless stacking of Avaya switches, delivering 40 Gbps throughput over a 1-meter link. This passive QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable provides a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers while maintaining low latency and minimal power consumption.

Who is it for

Network administrators and data center managers using Avaya VSP 7000, 8000, or 9000 series switches who need to create high-bandwidth stacking connections. It is ideal for top-of-rack deployments, campus aggregation, and any environment where short-reach, high-speed interconnects are required without the complexity of fiber optics.

Main features

• 40 Gbps data transfer rate for high-performance stacking
• QSFP+ connectors on both ends for universal compatibility
• Passive copper design reduces power usage and cost
• Hot-swappable for easy installation and maintenance
• 1-meter length ideal for adjacent rack units
• Durable PVC jacket with 30 AWG conductors
