Product Features
Technical Overview
This direct attach cable operates at a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, supporting 10GBase-CU standards for efficient network throughput. The twinaxial cable type provides stable signal integrity over distances up to 3 meters, making it ideal for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in high-density setups.
With SFP+ connectors on both ends, the cable interfaces directly with compatible switches, routers, and servers, reducing complexity and potential points of failure. The 30 AWG copper conductors ensure minimal signal attenuation, while the passive architecture simplifies installation and maintenance.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers several practical benefits for network administrators and IT professionals. Its dual-OEM compatibility with Cisco and HP Procurve equipment streamlines inventory management and reduces compatibility concerns, allowing seamless integration into mixed-vendor environments.
Cost-Effective Connectivity
By eliminating the need for separate SFP+ transceivers, this direct attach cable offers a more affordable solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections, lowering both initial hardware costs and long-term operational expenses.
- No additional transceivers required
- Reduces total cost of ownership
- Simplifies procurement and deployment
Reliable Performance
The passive twinax design ensures consistent signal quality with low latency, while the copper construction provides durability and resistance to electromagnetic interference in typical data center conditions.
- Stable 10 Gbit/s throughput
- Minimal signal degradation
- Robust construction for continuous operation
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is particularly well-suited for environments where short-range, high-speed connections between networking devices are essential. Its 3-meter length makes it ideal for connecting adjacent equipment within server racks or between nearby racks in data centers and network closets.
Common deployment scenarios include linking top-of-rack switches to servers, connecting aggregation switches in small to medium-sized networks, and establishing high-speed interconnects in virtualization clusters. The TAA compliance also makes it appropriate for government and educational institutions requiring certified networking components.
Data Center Interconnects
Use this cable to create reliable 10 Gigabit connections between switches and servers within the same rack or adjacent racks, supporting high-bandwidth applications and storage networking.
Enterprise Network Upgrades
Deploy as part of network infrastructure upgrades to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, providing cost-effective connectivity between Cisco and HP Procurve devices without requiring transceiver investments.
Physical Profile
The cable features a sleek black jacket that blends discreetly into network environments while providing protection for the internal copper conductors. With a manageable weight of 6.40 ounces, it offers easy handling during installation without adding significant load to cable management systems. The flexible design allows for neat routing in confined spaces typical of rack-mounted equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this cable supports for 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
This passive twinax cable is designed for short-range connections up to 3 meters (9.8 feet). It provides optimal performance for rack-to-rack or within-rack deployments in data centers and network closets where equipment is in close proximity.
Is this cable compatible with both Cisco and HP Procurve switches?
Yes, the ADD-SCISHP-PDAC3M is specifically engineered for dual-OEM compatibility, working seamlessly with both Cisco and HP Procurve networking equipment that feature SFP+ ports. This eliminates the need for vendor-specific cables in mixed environments.
What does 'passive' mean for this direct attach cable?
A passive direct attach cable contains no active electronics or signal conditioning components. It provides a straightforward copper connection between SFP+ ports without requiring external power, making it simpler to deploy and more cost-effective than active cables or separate transceiver solutions.
What is TAA compliance and why does it matter?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance means this product meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products sold to federal agencies. This certification ensures the cable is manufactured in approved countries and meets specific quality standards, making it suitable for government, educational, and institutional purchases.
