FAQ
What is the maximum distance this SFP direct attach cable supports?
This twinaxial direct attach cable is designed for short-distance connections up to 1 meter (3.3 feet). It is optimized for connecting network equipment within the same rack or adjacent enclosures, providing reliable 1 Gbit/s connectivity without the complexity of fiber optic solutions for these short runs.
Is this cable compatible with Cisco networking equipment?
Yes, the AddOn CAB-SFP-1M-AO is designed as a compatible alternative to Cisco CAB-SFP-1M cables. It maintains the electrical and mechanical specifications required for seamless integration with Cisco switches, routers, and other network devices that use standard SFP interfaces.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this cable meets the sourcing requirements for U.S. government procurement. This makes it eligible for purchase by federal agencies, educational institutions, and other organizations that require TAA-compliant products, with manufacturing occurring in United States and United Kingdom facilities.
How does the passive design affect cable performance?
The passive design means the cable contains no active electronics or signal amplification components. This simplifies installation by eliminating power requirements while maintaining signal integrity over the 1-meter distance. Passive twinaxial cables like this one provide reliable connectivity for short runs without the cost and complexity of active cables.
What type of connectors does this cable use?
This cable features identical SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) male connectors on both ends. Each connector is specifically designed for network applications with a secure latching mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection. The SFP interface is standard for connecting network switches, routers, and servers in data center environments.
What warranty coverage does this cable include?
The AddOn CAB-SFP-1M-AO direct attach cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This provides long-term protection against manufacturing defects and ensures reliable performance throughout the cable's service life in professional networking environments.
