About This Part
The Huawei 02311BKY is a high-performance 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100G) CXP Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable, specifically designed for robust and efficient short-reach interconnects within modern data centre environments. This passive copper cable, part of Huawei's extensive portfolio of high-speed connectivity solutions, features CXP connectors on both ends, facilitating seamless integration with CXP-enabled network devices. Operating at a data rate of 100Gbps, the Part Number 02311BKY provides a reliable and cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for distances up to 1.5 meters. Its design prioritizes low power consumption and minimal latency, critical factors for high-density computing and storage applications. The cable adheres to industry standards for 100G Ethernet, ensuring interoperability and consistent performance in demanding network infrastructures. Its robust construction is optimized for indoor use, providing a durable solution for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connectivity. This Huawei 100G CXP DAC cable is primarily deployed in scenarios requiring high-bandwidth, short-distance connections between networking equipment such as switches, routers, servers, and storage arrays. Common use cases include connecting top-of-rack (ToR) switches to aggregation switches, or linking high-performance servers to network fabric within the same rack or adjacent racks. Data centre operators, cloud service providers, and large enterprises leverage these cables to build scalable and efficient 100G Ethernet networks. The 02311BKY solves the challenge of achieving high port density and reducing operational costs by offering a significantly more economical and power-efficient solution compared to active optical cables or transceiver-plus-fiber combinations for very short runs. It supports the rapid expansion and upgrade of existing network infrastructures, enabling organizations to meet growing data demands without incurring excessive capital expenditure on optical components where copper is sufficient. For B2B clients seeking to optimize their network infrastructure investments, Revo Distribution Limited offers used and refurbished units of the Huawei 02311BKY. By providing access to high-quality, pre-owned equipment, Revo enables telecom operators and data centre providers to expand or upgrade their networks efficiently and cost-effectively. Our inventory of refurbished Huawei components, including this 100G CXP DAC cable, extends the lifecycle of existing infrastructure, allowing businesses to maintain high performance standards while significantly reducing capital outlay. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets original specifications, providing reliable performance comparable to new equipment. Partnering with Revo means accessing sustainable infrastructure solutions that support both operational excellence and environmental responsibility, making high-speed connectivity accessible for diverse project budgets.
