Product Features
Technical Overview
This direct attach cable operates as a passive twinaxial (twinax) solution, meaning it does not require active electronics or external power to function. The 10 Gbit/s data transfer rate supports high-bandwidth applications such as server-to-switch connections, storage area networks (SAN), and network backbone links, with the 4.9 ft length optimized for rack-to-rack or within-rack deployments.
The SFP+ connectors provide a hot-pluggable interface that is widely compatible with network devices from major manufacturers, including Intel-compatible systems. The 30 AWG copper construction balances flexibility with signal integrity, reducing crosstalk and ensuring stable performance in dense network environments.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This cable supports a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s (10 gigabits per second), enabling high-speed connections for network backbone, server-to-switch, and storage area network (SAN) applications. The passive twinax design maintains this speed over the 4.9 ft length without requiring external power.
What types of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features SFP+ network connectors on both ends, with one SFP+ connector on the first end and one SFP+ connector on the second end. This configuration provides a direct attach solution for connecting compatible SFP+ ports on network devices such as switches, routers, and servers.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant and manufactured in the United States. This compliance ensures it meets procurement requirements for U.S. government agencies and many enterprise contracts that mandate TAA-approved products.
What does 'passive' mean for this direct attach cable?
Passive means the cable does not contain active electronics or require external power to operate. It uses passive twinaxial (twinax) construction to transmit signals, which reduces power consumption, minimizes points of failure, and simplifies deployment compared to active cables that include signal amplification or retiming circuitry.
What is the cable length and how is it measured?
The cable length is 4.9 feet, which is equivalent to 1.50 meters. This length is measured end-to-end, making it suitable for short-distance connections within server racks, between adjacent equipment, or in network closets where longer cables are unnecessary and could cause clutter.
What warranty does this cable come with?
This cable includes a lifetime limited warranty, providing long-term assurance against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty supports reliable deployment in critical network environments, reflecting the product's durability and quality construction with 30 AWG copper.
