Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP+ DAC implements the 10GBase-CU standard over twinaxial copper cabling, supporting the full 10 Gigabit Ethernet protocol stack. The passive design means no signal regeneration electronics are embedded in the cable assembly, resulting in a simpler, more reliable connection that draws power only from the host SFP+ ports.
The cable terminates in SFP+ connectors that interface directly with compatible switch and adapter ports, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables. This creates a clean, point-to-point copper link ideal for cost-effective 10GbE deployment.
This section brings together practical product details such as Application/Usage, Total Number of Ports, Interfaces/Ports Details, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This direct attach cable simplifies 10GbE connectivity by combining the transceiver and cable into a single integrated assembly. The passive twinaxial construction delivers several distinct benefits for network architects and administrators.
Cost-Effective 10GbE
Eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers and fiber cabling, reducing both initial hardware costs and ongoing maintenance complexity.
- No separate SFP+ modules required
- Lower total cost than fiber solutions
- Simplified inventory management
Power Efficient Operation
Passive design consumes minimal power since it doesn't contain signal regeneration electronics, helping reduce overall rack power consumption and heat load.
- Lower power draw than active cables
- Reduced thermal output
- Compatible with standard SFP+ power budgets
TAA Compliance Assurance
Manufactured to meet Trade Agreements Act requirements, making this cable suitable for government contracts and regulated enterprise environments where compliance is mandatory.
- United States origin
- Government procurement ready
- Enterprise compliance simplified
Deployment / Use Cases
The 50cm length and passive twinaxial design make this DAC particularly well-suited for specific networking scenarios where short-reach, high-speed connections are required between adjacent devices.
In data center environments, it's ideal for connecting top-of-rack switches to servers within the same rack, or for linking aggregation switches in adjacent rack positions. The cable's compact form factor and flexibility support high-density deployments where cable management and airflow are critical considerations.
Server-to-Switch Connections
Connect servers with 10GbE network adapters directly to compatible HP switches within the same rack, providing high-throughput links for virtualized environments, storage networks, or application clusters.
Switch Stacking & Uplinks
Establish short-distance inter-switch links for stacking configurations or uplink connections between access and distribution layer switches in compact network designs.
Physical Profile
The cable assembly measures 50cm in length with a slim, flexible jacket that facilitates clean routing in cable management systems. The overall package dimensions are compact, with the cable typically shipped in protective packaging measuring approximately 9" wide by 12" deep by 0.5" high. At just 3.2 ounces, the lightweight design minimizes stress on SFP+ port connectors during installation and maintenance.
