FAQs
What is a QSFP28 direct attach cable and how is it different from optical cables?
A QSFP28 direct attach cable is a copper-based interconnect cable with integrated QSFP28 connectors on both ends. Unlike optical cables that require separate transceivers, direct attach cables connect directly to QSFP28 ports on switches and servers, offering a simpler, lower-cost solution for short-distance, high-speed connections within data centres.
What is the maximum distance the TP-Link SM9220-1M can transmit data?
The SM9220-1M is rated for up to 1 metre transmission distance, making it suitable for server-to-switch connections and short-range inter-device links within the same rack or adjacent equipment.
Is the TP-Link SM9220-1M compatible with both 100Gbps and 40Gbps networks?
Yes, the cable supports both 100Gbps and 40Gbps data rates, providing flexibility for deployment in mixed-generation network environments or future-proofing existing infrastructure.
What does 'hot-swappable' mean for this cable?
Hot-swappable means the cable can be safely inserted or removed from active QSFP28 ports without shutting down equipment or interrupting service, enabling rapid maintenance and hardware changes with minimal downtime.
What warranty does TP-Link provide with the SM9220-1M?
The SM9220-1M includes a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, providing confidence and protection for your investment.
Is the TP-Link SM9220-1M suitable for data centre use?
Yes, the SM9220-1M is designed for enterprise and data centre environments. Its support for high data rates, wide operating temperature range, and reliable connectors make it well-suited for demanding network infrastructure applications.
