Connectivity and compatibility

This cable works seamlessly with any device featuring standard SFP+ ports, including Lenovo Flex System servers, network switches, and storage devices. Its active design ensures compatibility with high-speed networking equipment commonly found in modern data centers and enterprise environments.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward: simply insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port on your devices and verify the link status. The active optical cable requires no additional hardware, which reduces setup time and potential points of failure, making it a practical choice for network administrators managing complex infrastructures.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable is well suited for data centers and enterprise networks that require reliable, high-speed connections over short distances. It fits naturally in rack-mounted setups, connecting servers to switches or linking aggregation switches in adjacent racks. Its active optical design makes it a strong choice for environments where signal quality and low latency are priorities.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
