Compatible Lenovo AV1X BlueLAN 25GBASE-CR passive SFP28 to SFP28 Direct Attach Cable, 3 Meter, AWG26

What is a Compatible AV1X?

Compatible AV1X are an equivalent solution for overpriced original AV1X from Lenovo, 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 Lenovo AV1X 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 Lenovo price policy of the large world conglomerates. A Lenovo compatible AV1X offers the same range of functions as an original AV1X and differs only in the product label. The technical set-up of Lenovo compatible AV1X and of original AV1X is the same as defined by MSA standards. Only the quality of the installed components can vary. Lenovo compatible AV1X 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 AV1X from Lenovo. If you are not yet familiar with compatible Lenovo AV1X, please let us know. You can request a test sample from gbic-shop.de to try out a compatible Lenovo AV1X product in your system.

Benefits of a Compatible AV1X

AV1X 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 AV1X.

Low Cost

AV1X DACs from Lenovo cost a lot more in comparison to compatible AV1X. Depending on the model, well-known products are 50% to 1000% more expensive than compatible AV1X 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 AV1X 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 AV1X with high-quality components like the compatible AV1X of the BlueLAN brand from gbic-shop.de, which have an above-average lifetime compared to compatible AV1X no-name products or conventional compatible AV1X brand products, cost only a fraction of the price of original AV1X.

Standardized Production

By setting standards and norms for AV1X DACs in the internationally appointed Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), compatible AV1X can be designed to meet the exact specifications for an exact fit of the compatible AV1X, the correct design of the compatible AV1X and the exact operation of the compatible AV1X. Depending on the choice of the internal installed components, compatible AV1X can be just as qualitative as the original AV1X. There is therefore no risk of incompatibilities when using compatible AV1X insofar the MSA standards are applied. In addition, compatible AV1X meet all industrial standards, norms and communications regulations. Compatible AV1X of the brand BlueLAN from gbic-shop.de meet all specifications and reach or even exceed all standards.

Compatible Programming

Compatible AV1X must be adapted for the use in its hardware, so that the compatible AV1X can be recognized correctly and the hardware does not deny working with the compatible AV1X. 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 AV1X, who have the appropriate know-how and, if you are concerned, provide a test sample of the desired compatible AV1X.

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 AV1X 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 AV1X you will always receive a corresponding exchange cable for your compatible AV1X within the guarantee period.

Special products

Some cable variants are not available in certain manufacturers' portfolios. Compatible AV1X 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 AV1X 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 AV1X

Compatible AV1X from gbic-shop.de offer no disadvantages in terms of quality, processing and operation compared to original AV1X. However, if you only pay attention to the price when buying compatible AV1X, you can be surprised badly and cause big problems.

Poor processing - There are manufacturing companies for compatible AV1X, mostly in China, which do not respect the MSA standards during the production process and therefore flood the market with compatible AV1X 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 AV1X product, you may experience a bad awakening after a few weeks of operation, if not already immediately after commissioning.

Toxic Substances in AV1X - If the production of compatible AV1X 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 AV1X, what is strictly prohibited according to RoHS guidelines.

In order to save costs, in addition to saving on know-how of compatible AV1X 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 AV1X product. For this reason, caution should be exercised in the case of cheap offers from compatible AV1X or vendors that say things they cannot comply with afterwards, what will be revealed firstly when problems occur while using the compatible AV1X for a time.

Is a Compatible AV1X as good as an Original?

Yes and No. We cannot answer this question in general. Compatible AV1X from gbic-shop.de do not have any disadvantages compared to original AV1X. Nowadays, there are many compatible AV1X that are not even worth the low price they cost. Quickly, the cost of maintenance increases and the savings from buying the compatible AV1X from the beginning disappear more than quickly. Even if malfunctions or errors do not necessarily occur immediately when using compatible AV1X, inferior compatible AV1X 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 AV1X product, its longevity and, of course, in the price.

Does a Compatible AV1X Void the Warranty of My Lenovo Hardware?

No. The use of compatible AV1X in Lenovo 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 AV1X not to be bound to one manufacturer. In so far as you use qualitative compatible AV1X, it is also not possible that a defect of the hardware can be caused by a AV1X that does not have its own current source.

Each BlueLAN SFP5541GUSB SFP28 to SFP28 DAC Direct Attach Cable is covered by a 5-year functional warranty from CBO.

For the entire product lifetime, you will always receive technical support via e-mail and telephone.

The CBO Advance Exchange will include a free shipping of replacement cables from the next business day.
