Selection Guide
Choose the correct BMXXBC0xxK cable based on the physical distance between your racks:
- 0.8 m → BMXXBC008K (this product) — ideal for adjacent racks in the same panel
- 1.8 m → BMXXBC018K — short-distance inter-panel connections
- 3.8 m → BMXXBC038K — medium-distance rack separation
- 5.8 m → BMXXBC058K — long-distance within the same room
- 10.8 m → BMXXBC108K — maximum extension for distributed architectures
Tip: Always measure the actual cable routing path (not straight-line distance) and add 15–20% slack allowance before selecting cable length.
