Product Features
Technical Overview
This 10GBase-CU SFP+ to SFP+ direct attach cable utilizes twinaxial copper construction with 24 AWG conductors for optimal signal integrity. The passive design means no active electronics are embedded in the cable assembly, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced heat generation compared to active cables.
The cable terminates with SFP+ connectors on both ends, providing a direct electrical connection between compatible SFP+ ports. This eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, simplifying deployment and reducing overall connectivity costs.
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.
