Prior to DDOS5.2 there are only some set of DA cables which are supported. From DDOS5.2
onwards, any SFP+ passive direct attach copper cable that complies with the SFF-8431 v4.1
and SFF-8472 v10.4 specifications will be supported. Maximum cable length for passive
cables is 7 meters. Table 1 lists several examples of compatible third-party SFP+ direct
attach cables. We only support PASSIVE DA cables (active DA cables are not supported).
VNX Series Unified Storage Systems only work with active SFP+ DAC cable assemblies.

If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses a third-party optic or
cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) can help you diagnose the

party optic or cable and potentially replace it with an equivalent Juniper Networks optic or
cable that is qualified for the device. DAC compatible on all models.
