DAC (DirectAttach) cables support in 6200 series?

[Chckpnt_Charlie]

Hi,

we are looking into upgrading our current appliances with 6200 series with the 10GBase card.

We would like to use DAC cables for the uplinks, however 6200 datasheet does not list DirectAttach cables:

https://www.checkpoint.com/downloads/products/6200-security-gateway-datasheet.pdf

Interestingly, the 26000 datasheet does list these cables and it shows the same SKU for the 10GBase card (4 Port 10GBase-F SFP+ interface card  CPAC-4-10F-C).

https://www.checkpoint.com/downloads/products/26000-security-gateway-datasheet.pdf

Surely, if these cables work in 26000, they will work in the same 10GBase module in the 6200!

Can someone confirm DAC cables working in 6200 series appliances from experience, or can someone from Checkpoint confirm this?

Thanks!

Dmitry,

we had this cables working in a 6600 appliance with the same interface card CPAC-4-10F-C.

Cisco DAC-cables are working too.

But I'm not aware how about the support 😞
