Product Features
Technical Overview
This direct attach cable utilizes twinaxial (twinax) construction, which combines two coaxial conductors in a single cable to support high-frequency signals with minimal interference. The active design incorporates built-in electronics to boost and condition the signal, enabling reliable 10GbE performance over the full 10-meter length without degradation.
Both ends feature SFP+ network connectors, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of SFP+ ports on network devices and transceivers. The cable supports hot-pluggable installation, allowing for easy deployment and maintenance without disrupting network operations.
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.
