Lenovo 00VX117

Overview

The Lenovo 00VX117 is a 5-meter active DAC SFP+ cable designed to provide reliable 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity using copper. It features a twinaxial 30 AWG 2 pair design with integrated equalization and a limiting amplifier to maintain signal integrity over the full length. This cable is ideal for linking servers, switches, and storage devices within data centers where consistent high-speed connections are essential.

Key features

• Active signal conditioning with integrated equalizer and limiting amplifier ensures stable data transmission across 5 meters.
• Zinc die cast backshell construction reduces insertion loss and enhances electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for cleaner signals.
• Compliant with SFF-8431 SFP+ MSA specification, guaranteeing compatibility with Lenovo switches and network interface cards.
• Supports multiple protocols including 10 Gb Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand for versatile networking applications.
• Direct attach copper design offers a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for mid-range connections.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable connects SFP+ ports on both ends, making it suitable for linking servers to top-of-rack or end-of-row switches, network adapters to aggregation devices, and storage to compute nodes. It fits well in Lenovo networking environments, ensuring seamless integration with Lenovo switches and network interface cards. Its support for Fibre Channel and InfiniBand protocols adds flexibility for various data center setups.

Ideal uses and environments

The Lenovo 00VX117 is well suited to data centers requiring stable 10 Gb connections over a 5-meter distance. It works effectively in rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections where optical solutions are not necessary or cost-effective. This cable is a strong choice for IT professionals looking to maintain signal quality and reduce electromagnetic interference in high-bandwidth applications.

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.
