Product overview
Arista lists CAB-S-S-25G-3M as a SFP28 to SFP28 passive direct attach copper twinax cable (25G, 3m). Direct-attach copper is cheaper and lower latency than optics but is limited by length and by what each switch will accept. Tell us the two endpoints and we will say which of the two is right for the run.
Quotes are itemised down to the accessories, so nothing that is needed to make the part work is left off and discovered later.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
CAB-S-S-25G-3M is what is quoted and CAB-S-S-25G-3M is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Coded for both ends
Tell us the switch at each end and we confirm the vendor coding before dispatch rather than after a link fails to come up.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is CAB-S-S-25G-3M genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
- Will CAB-S-S-25G-3M work in my server?
- Tell us the switch at both ends of the link. Optics are frequently vendor-coded, so a module that is electrically correct can still refuse to come up; we confirm the coding for both ends before it ships.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Optics and cabling are part of the fabric spec on a cluster build — both ends and the switch have to agree.
