Compatible Dell Networking 693D1 QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable, 100GBASE-CR4, Infiniband EDR, 30AWG, 0.5 Meter

What is a Compatible 693D1?

Compatible 693D1 are an equivalent solution for overpriced original 693D1 from Dell, which primarily serve as a margin product for the manufacturer, filling the pockets of the company at your expense. As today's standard for the transmission of electrical signals in a network, for example in a data center, compatible Dell 693D1 Direct Attach Cables (DAC) provide a way to build high-availability connections in high-speed networks on short distances without having to compromise the arbitrary Dell price policy of the large world conglomerates. A Dell compatible 693D1 offers the same range of functions as an original 693D1 and differs only in the product label. The technical set-up of Dell compatible 693D1 and of original 693D1 is the same as defined by MSA standards. Only the quality of the installed components can vary. Dell compatible 693D1 from the brand BlueLAN use only high-quality brand cables (such as Belden, Molex or TE Connectivity) and high-quality ICs (such as Maxim Integrated or Netlogic) and therefore have the same quality or even a better quality as the original 693D1 from Dell. If you are not yet familiar with compatible Dell 693D1, please let us know. You can request a test sample from gbic-shop.de to try out a compatible Dell 693D1 product in your system.

Benefits of a Compatible 693D1

693D1 DACs are special industrial products which, as a compatible variant, should only be obtained from a specialist in order to benefit from the following advantages of compatible 693D1.

Low Cost

693D1 DACs from Dell cost a lot more in comparison to compatible 693D1. Depending on the model, well-known products are 50% to 1000% more expensive than compatible 693D1 from third-party suppliers. Depending on the number of ports required this can quickly increase the cost of a network. In this case, however, it is important not to purchase any compatible 693D1 junk products where the quality suffers during the production or already during the product design process which leads to link errors or complete failures of a connection after a short period of use. But even long-life compatible 693D1 with high-quality components like the compatible 693D1 of the BlueLAN brand from gbic-shop.de, which have an above-average lifetime compared to compatible 693D1 no-name products or conventional compatible 693D1 brand products, cost only a fraction of the price of original 693D1.

Standardized Production

By setting standards and norms for 693D1 DACs in the internationally appointed Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), compatible 693D1 can be designed to meet the exact specifications for an exact fit of the compatible 693D1, the correct design of the compatible 693D1 and the exact operation of the compatible 693D1. Depending on the choice of the internal installed components, compatible 693D1 can be just as qualitative as the original 693D1. There is therefore no risk of incompatibilities when using compatible 693D1 insofar the MSA standards are applied. In addition, compatible 693D1 meet all industrial standards, norms and communications regulations. Compatible 693D1 of the brand BlueLAN from gbic-shop.de meet all specifications and reach or even exceed all standards.

Compatible Programming

Compatible 693D1 must be adapted for the use in its hardware, so that the compatible 693D1 can be recognized correctly and the hardware does not deny working with the compatible 693D1. Incorrect programming can lead to functional restrictions as well as a complete lack of function. It is therefore advisable to look for a trusted supplier for the acquisition of compatible 693D1, who have the appropriate know-how and, if you are concerned, provide a test sample of the desired compatible 693D1.

Long Warranty Periods

Some manufacturers do offer limited warranty periods on original products, usually about one year. Others offer life-long warranty periods. However, this lifetime refers to the time while the product is officially offered. If this is terminated as End of Life (EOL) product, the warranty expires. What this says about the real lifetime of a product is left to your imagination. Compatible 693D1 of the brand BlueLAN, on the other hand, have a warranty period of 5 years and an average life expectancy of 10 years with continuous individual support from gbic-shop.de. In the unexpectedly occurring event of a fault of the compatible 693D1 you will always receive a corresponding exchange cable for your compatible 693D1 within the guarantee period.

Special products

Some cable variants are not available in certain manufacturers' portfolios. Compatible 693D1 can be adapted in such a way that even cable types with other specifications which are not officially supported by the manufacturer can be used to enable special applications or higher ranges. Compatible 693D1 of the brand BlueLAN from gbic-shop.de are 100% compatible, are MSA and RoHS compliant, have an above average lifetime and are available for more than 165 different vendors.

Disadvantages of a Compatible 693D1

Compatible 693D1 from gbic-shop.de offer no disadvantages in terms of quality, processing and operation compared to original 693D1. However, if you only pay attention to the price when buying compatible 693D1, you can be surprised badly and cause big problems.

Poor processing - There are manufacturing companies for compatible 693D1, mostly in China, which do not respect the MSA standards during the production process and therefore flood the market with compatible 693D1 products that lack precision, show incompatibilities, cause hardware damage or are simply sloppily manufactured and thus endangering security. Since you cannot notice this by just looking at the compatible 693D1 product, you may experience a bad awakening after a few weeks of operation, if not already immediately after commissioning.

Toxic Substances in 693D1 - If the production of compatible 693D1 is not observed to comply with valid industrial and environmental standards, this will lead to a risk to life and limb for you and your employees. Lead and other toxins are used in unclean production processes for compatible 693D1, what is strictly prohibited according to RoHS guidelines.

In order to save costs, in addition to saving on know-how of compatible 693D1 and endangering our environment, saving on certifications such as ISO9001 or non-compliance with work laws and work standards are other aspects on how to minimize the total price of a compatible 693D1 product. For this reason, caution should be exercised in the case of cheap offers from compatible 693D1 or vendors that say things they cannot comply with afterwards, what will be revealed firstly when problems occur while using the compatible 693D1 for a time.

Is a Compatible 693D1 as good as an Original?

Yes and No. We cannot answer this question in general. Compatible 693D1 from gbic-shop.de do not have any disadvantages compared to original 693D1. Nowadays, there are many compatible 693D1 that are not even worth the low price they cost. Quickly, the cost of maintenance increases and the savings from buying the compatible 693D1 from the beginning disappear more than quickly. Even if malfunctions or errors do not necessarily occur immediately when using compatible 693D1, inferior compatible 693D1 can already lead to this in a short time. Reasons for this are poor processing, failure to comply with standards and norms and, above all, the use of cables and ICs from Asian manufacturers, in the worst case from China, which have not been able, as of now, to match the quality of traditional companies for transmission technology from the US by far. As with any electronic component, this is naturally reflected in the quality of the compatible 693D1 product, its longevity and, of course, in the price.

Does a Compatible 693D1 Void the Warranty of My Dell Hardware?

No. The use of compatible 693D1 in Dell hardware does not void or compromise the warranty of the hardware. Since networks are becoming increasingly heterogeneous and many products from different manufacturers are used, it is only natural for 693D1 not to be bound to one manufacturer. In so far as you use qualitative compatible 693D1, it is also not possible that a defect of the hardware can be caused by a 693D1 that does not have its own current source.

Each BlueLAN BL282901M1M26 QSFP28 to QSFP28 DAC Direct Attach Cable is covered by a 5-year functional warranty from CBO.
