IBM compatible BN-SP-CBL-2M5 Description

BN-SP-CBL-2M5 is IBM compatible 10G Passive Twinax Cable, operating over passive copper cable. 10G Passive Twinax Cable is equipped with MSA standard compatible SFP+ transceiver assembly at each end of cable. IBM BN-SP-CBL-2M5 10G Passive Twinax Cable supports 1.0625-10.52 Gbps data rate and such applications as 10G Ethernet (10.31Gbps)|Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 Gbps)|10G Fiber Channel (10.52 Gbps)|8G Fiber Channel (8.5 Gbps)|4G Fiber Channel (4.25 Gbps)|2G Fiber Channel (2.125 Gbps)|1G Fiber Channel (1.0625 Gbps)|CPRI option 2 (1228.8 Mbps)|CPRI option 3 (2.458 Gbp. Most popular applications of 10G Passive Twinax Cable are cost effective close range interconnections within equipment room of telecom operators or data centers, interconnecting LAN or SAN applications with speeds up to 10G.

10G Passive Twinax Cable is CE/RoHS certified and it is compliant with product safety standards. We perform compatibility tests for IBM compatible BN-SP-CBL-2M5 10G Passive Twinax Cable with latest platforms of IBM networking equipment, which allows us to encode Passive Twinax Cable EEPROM memory to be compatible and work seamlessly with IBM platforms. However, our 10G Passive Twinax Cable complies with SFP+ Multi Source Agreement SFF-8432 as well. Because our focus is providing top quality service, we are performing serious quality checks before delivery of our products. As a result, we do parameter measurements and Passive Cable EEPROM memory data validation tests.
