Product Features
Technical Overview
These direct attach cables utilize a twinaxial cable type with 30 AWG copper wiring, supporting 10GBase-CU standards for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The active circuitry embedded in the cable assembly boosts signal quality, enabling consistent performance across the full 1-meter span without degradation.
Each cable features SFP+ connectors on both ends, ensuring a secure and standardized interface with SFP+ ports on switches, routers, servers, and storage devices. The design is fully compatible with network devices that support SFP+ direct attach copper cables, including those originally designed for Brocade (formerly) 10G-SFPP-TWX-0108 configurations.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Product Material, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The active twinaxial design provides several key benefits for network deployments. The embedded electronics regenerate signals, reducing bit error rates and ensuring data integrity over the cable's length. This makes these cables more reliable than passive alternatives in environments with electromagnetic interference or longer runs within the 10-meter twinaxial range.
High-Speed Connectivity
Delivers 10 Gbit/s throughput, suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like data backup, virtualization, and high-performance computing.
- 10GBase-CU compliant
- Low latency for real-time data transfer
Bulk Efficiency
The 8-pack format offers economies of scale, reducing per-unit cost and streamlining procurement for large-scale installations.
- Ideal for data center rollouts
- Simplifies cable management
Deployment / Use Cases
These cables are engineered for scenarios requiring reliable, high-speed connections between adjacent network equipment. Common use cases include linking top-of-rack switches to servers in data centers, connecting storage arrays to network switches in SAN environments, or establishing short-haul links within server racks for cluster computing.
The TAA compliance ensures eligibility for U.S. government and defense contracts, making these cables suitable for federal, state, and municipal IT projects. The lifetime warranty provides long-term assurance, reducing total cost of ownership for enterprise and institutional buyers.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect SFP+ ports on switches and servers within the same rack or across adjacent racks, minimizing latency for critical applications.
Enterprise Networking
Deploy in office server rooms or network closets to link core switches, routers, and network-attached storage devices.
Physical Profile
Each cable in the pack measures 3.3 feet (1 meter) in length, providing flexibility for tight spaces while avoiding excess cable clutter. The copper construction and active components contribute to a lightweight design, with each cable weighing approximately 3.20 ounces (90.72 grams). This lightweight profile simplifies installation and reduces strain on SFP+ ports during cable management.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the cable length and type for these AddOn direct attach cables?
Each cable in the 8-pack is 1 meter (3.3 feet) long and uses a twinaxial cable type. Twinaxial cables are designed for high-speed data transfer over short distances, typically up to 10 meters, and are commonly used in data center environments for reliable connectivity between SFP+ ports.
Are these SFP+ cables active or passive, and what does that mean?
These are active direct attach cables. Active cables have embedded electronics that regenerate the signal along the cable length, improving signal integrity and reducing bit error rates compared to passive cables. This makes them more suitable for environments with potential interference or for ensuring consistent performance across the full 1-meter span.
What data transfer rate do these cables support?
These cables support a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, compliant with the 10GBase-CU standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. This high-speed throughput is ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as server-to-switch connections, storage area networks, and virtualized infrastructure.
Are these cables TAA compliant, and why is that important?
Yes, these cables are TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. TAA compliance ensures that the products are manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or other designated countries, making them eligible for U.S. government, defense, and public sector procurement contracts. This is crucial for IT projects in federal, state, and municipal agencies.
What is the warranty for these AddOn direct attach cables?
These cables come with a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty provides long-term assurance against defects in materials and workmanship, reducing the total cost of ownership and offering peace of mind for enterprise deployments where reliability and durability are critical.
How many cables are included in the pack, and what are the connectors?
The pack includes eight cables. Each cable has SFP+ network connectors on both ends, providing a standardized interface for connecting SFP+ ports on network devices such as switches, routers, servers, and storage systems. This dual SFP+ design ensures compatibility with a wide range of equipment.
