Product Features
Technical Overview
This 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Active DAC Twinax Cable operates at a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, supporting high-bandwidth applications that require reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The twinaxial cable construction provides excellent signal integrity while maintaining flexibility for installation in constrained spaces.
The cable utilizes SFP+ connectors on both ends, with each end featuring a single SFP+ network connector. This symmetrical design simplifies deployment by eliminating the need for separate transceivers, reducing both cost and complexity in network installations.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Active DAC Twinax Cable offers several advantages for network deployments requiring reliable high-speed connections. The active design ensures signal integrity over the full 10-meter length, making it suitable for connections that exceed the limitations of passive copper cables.
Simplified Deployment
With SFP+ connectors pre-attached on both ends, this direct-attach cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing installation time and component costs while maintaining compatibility with HP networking equipment.
- No separate transceivers required
- HP compatibility tested
- Plug-and-play installation
Reliable Performance
The active twinaxial design incorporates signal conditioning that maintains data integrity at the full 10 Gbit/s rate over the entire 10-meter cable length, ensuring consistent network performance.
- Active signal conditioning
- 10 Gbit/s data rate maintained
- Twinaxial construction for signal integrity
Deployment / Use Cases
This active DAC twinax cable is designed for connecting network devices within data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network environments. The 10-meter length provides flexibility for connecting equipment within racks or between adjacent racks where fiber optic solutions would be unnecessarily complex or expensive.
Typical deployment scenarios include connecting switches to servers, storage arrays to network switches, or linking networking equipment in high-density environments. The HP compatibility makes this cable particularly suitable for organizations with HP networking infrastructure, though it will work with any SFP+ compatible equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this cable supports for 10 Gbit/s connections?
This Axiom 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Active DAC Twinax Cable supports 10 Gbit/s data transfer over its full 10-meter (32.8-foot) length. The active design incorporates signal conditioning electronics that maintain signal integrity at this distance, making it suitable for connections within server racks or between adjacent equipment in data center environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this cable feature SFP+ network connectors, with each end having exactly one SFP+ connector. This symmetrical design allows direct attachment to SFP+ ports on compatible network switches, servers, and storage devices without requiring separate transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing overall deployment costs.
Is this cable compatible with HP networking equipment?
Yes, this Axiom 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Active DAC Twinax Cable is designed with HP compatibility in mind. It will work seamlessly with HP networking equipment that supports SFP+ connections, though it is also compatible with any network devices featuring standard SFP+ ports from other manufacturers.
What does 'active' mean in the context of this DAC cable?
The 'active' designation indicates that this direct-attach copper cable incorporates signal conditioning electronics within the cable assembly. These electronics boost and condition the electrical signals to maintain integrity over the full 10-meter length at 10 Gbit/s speeds, unlike passive DAC cables that have more limited distance capabilities at the same data rate.
