Cabo de rede D-Link CXP 120G, 0,5 m, ficha CXP–ficha CXP, preto

D-Link CXP 120G network cable, 0.5 m, with CXP male-to-male connectors in black is a short high-speed interconnect designed for data centres and high performance computing environments. The cable supports 120G links over CXP-equipped NICs and switches, offering a compact, low-latency connection ideal for within-rack or rack-to-rack links and for stacking compatible switches using appropriate expansion modules.

Advantages

The half-metre length minimises cable clutter and signal loss in dense rack deployments while maintaining high throughput at 120G. CXP-to-CXP connectivity provides a reliable mechanical fit and consistent electrical performance for short-reach interconnects. The black outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates with standard rack cabling, and the short form factor simplifies cable management in constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between CXP-equipped switches and network interface cards
• Within-rack or adjacent rack connections requiring low latency and high bandwidth
• Stacking compatible switches via their CXP stacking/expansion ports
• High performance computing (HPC) clusters and data centre top-of-rack links

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: CXP male to CXP male
• Supported link rate: 120G short-reach interconnect
• Colour: black outer jacket
• Application: short patch cable for rack-level and stacking connections

How to use

Install the cable by seating each CXP male connector into the corresponding CXP port on switches, expansion modules or NICs until the connector latches. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive torsion; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radii for optimal signal integrity. Use the cable for direct short links inside racks or for adjacent rack connections where the 0.5 m reach is sufficient.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use this cable in short-reach scenarios and pair it with devices that explicitly support CXP 120G interconnects. Avoid stretching the cable or routing it near high-heat sources. Keep connections dust-free and inspect connector ends before insertion. For stacking switches, verify compatibility with the switch expansion modules and follow the switch vendor’s stacking procedure.
