Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this cable compatible with non-Mellanox switches?
A: While designed for optimal performance with Mellanox equipment, it may work with other vendors' compatible ports. Full functionality is assured only with Mellanox systems.
Q: What is the maximum reliable distance for this passive DAC?
A: The 3m model is reliable for in-rack and adjacent rack connections. For longer distances, active optical solutions are recommended.
Q: Does the cable require any drivers or software configuration?
A: No. It is a plug-and-play passive component that automatically configures via EEPROM.
Q: What does the alias mq9700 refer to?
A: mq9700 is an alternative product identifier used for this specific 3m Mellanox QSFP28 DAC cable.
