Product Features
Technical Overview
This direct attach cable operates as a passive twinaxial cable, meaning it does not require external power or signal conditioning electronics. The 10 Gbit/s data transfer rate supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections, while the SFP+ connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard SFP+ ports found in switches, routers, and network interface cards.
The cable's 24 AWG copper conductors provide efficient electrical performance for distances up to 5 meters, which is typical for direct attach copper cables in data center and server room deployments. The passive design simplifies installation and reduces potential points of failure compared to active optical cables or transceivers.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of cable is the ADD-SHPASHPC-PDAC5M?
The ADD-SHPASHPC-PDAC5M is a 10GBase-CU SFP+ to SFP+ direct attach cable using passive twinaxial copper construction. It provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between devices with SFP+ ports without requiring separate optical transceivers, making it a cost-effective solution for short-distance connections up to 5 meters.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This direct attach cable supports data transfer rates of 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second), which is sufficient for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The passive twinax design maintains this performance level across the entire 5-meter cable length without signal degradation typical of longer copper runs.
Which HP switches are compatible with this direct attach cable?
The cable is compatible with numerous HP switch models including the JG081C reference and series such as 2920, 3500yl, 3800, 5500, 5900AF, A5800, and 6600 switches. The extensive compatibility list covers both PoE and non-PoE variants across HP's networking portfolio, making it suitable for expanding or maintaining existing HP network infrastructure.
What does TAA compliant mean for this product?
TAA compliance indicates that this cable meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, which governs procurement for U.S. government agencies and certain enterprises. The product is manufactured in the United States and uses materials that comply with trade agreement specifications, making it suitable for contracts requiring TAA-compliant networking components.
How does a passive direct attach cable differ from an active one?
A passive direct attach cable like the ADD-SHPASHPC-PDAC5M uses copper conductors without signal conditioning electronics, drawing power minimally from the SFP+ port. This contrasts with active cables that include electronics to boost or reshape signals, allowing longer distances but at higher cost. Passive cables are ideal for shorter runs (typically up to 7 meters) where signal integrity remains strong without amplification.
What warranty coverage does this cable include?
The AddOn ADD-SHPASHPC-PDAC5M direct attach cable comes with a 1 Year Lifetime limited warranty. This warranty provides protection against manufacturing defects and ensures reliable performance for the specified period, offering peace of mind for network deployments where cable reliability directly impacts network availability.
