Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes twinaxial (twinax) technology, which consists of two inner conductors surrounded by a shield, providing enhanced signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference over short distances. The 1000BASE-CU standard ensures compliance with Gigabit Ethernet specifications, delivering consistent performance for high-speed network applications.
The SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) connectors are industry-standard interfaces that support hot-swappable functionality, allowing for easy installation and maintenance without disrupting network operations. The male connectors on both ends ensure a secure physical connection, minimizing signal loss and maintaining data integrity across the link.

FAQ
What is the maximum length supported by this twinaxial cable?
This cable is 3.3 ft (1 m) long, designed for short-reach connections typically within a single rack or between adjacent racks. Twinaxial cables like this one are optimized for distances up to 10 meters, making them ideal for high-density environments where minimal cable length reduces clutter and maintains signal integrity.
Are both ends of the cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature SFP Network - Male connectors. This symmetrical design ensures compatibility with SFP ports on network devices such as switches, routers, and servers, providing a straightforward plug-and-play connection without needing adapters or configuration.
Does this cable require external power to operate?
No, this is a passive DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable, meaning it does not require external power. The passive design uses the electrical signals from the connected devices, simplifying deployment and reducing power consumption compared to active cables or optical transceivers.
What network devices is this cable compatible with?
The cable is compatible with network devices that support SFP interfaces, including NetGear equipment as specified. It works with switches, routers, servers, and other hardware featuring SFP ports, making it versatile for enterprise and data center applications where Gigabit Ethernet connections are needed.
