Deployment / Use Cases
This direct attach cable is optimized for short-distance, high-speed connections within data centers, server rooms, or network closets. Its 1-meter length is ideal for linking adjacent rack-mounted equipment, such as connecting a top-of-rack switch to servers or storage arrays in the same enclosure.
Common applications include 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone links, SAN interconnects, and cluster networking for HPC environments. The passive design makes it suitable for environments where power efficiency and minimal heat output are priorities, such as densely packed racks or energy-conscious data centers.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect switches, servers, and storage devices within the same rack or adjacent racks, providing low-latency 10G links for virtualized workloads and storage traffic.
High-Performance Computing
Support cluster networking in HPC environments where fast, reliable inter-node communication is essential for parallel processing and scientific computations.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum distance this cable supports for 10G connections?
This cable is designed for short-reach connections up to 1 meter (3.3 feet). It uses passive twinaxial construction optimized for distances typically within a single rack or between adjacent racks in data center environments, ensuring full 10 Gbit/s performance without signal degradation.
Are the SFP+ connectors on both ends identical?
Yes, both ends feature identical SFP+ network connectors, each with a single SFP+ port. This symmetrical design simplifies installation by eliminating orientation confusion, making it a straightforward plug-and-play solution for connecting two SFP+-enabled devices.
Does this cable require external power or active components?
No, this is a passive direct attach cable that does not need external power or active signal conditioning. The passive design reduces complexity, power consumption, and potential points of failure, while still delivering 10 Gbit/s performance over its 1-meter length.
What does TAA compliance mean for this cable?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that the cable meets U.S. government procurement requirements, ensuring it is manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country. This makes it suitable for government contracts, federal agencies, and enterprises with similar compliance mandates.
What types of network devices are compatible with this cable?
The cable is compatible with any network device featuring SFP+ ports, including switches, routers, servers, and storage arrays that support 10GBase-CU connections. It is designed for standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments.
What is included with the cable purchase?
The cable is sold as a single unit with no additional accessories included. For detailed specifications and installation guidance, refer to the product documentation available via the provided PDF link, which offers technical insights and compatibility information.
