Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable operates as a 10GBASE-CU (10 Gigabit Ethernet over Copper) solution, supporting data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s across its 6.6-foot length. The twinaxial construction provides robust signal integrity for high-speed transmissions, while the passive design means it requires no external power, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure.
The SFP+ connectors on both ends are keyed for secure insertion and removal, ensuring reliable physical connections in rack-mounted or stacked equipment configurations. This cable meets industry standards for direct-attach copper cabling, delivering consistent performance in demanding network environments.
Key Product Advantages
This DAC cable offers several distinct advantages for network deployments. Its passive twinaxial design provides a reliable, low-latency connection without the complexity and cost of active components, making it ideal for budget-conscious yet performance-driven installations.
Simplified Deployment
With SFP+ connectors pre-attached on both ends, this cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing component count and installation time while minimizing compatibility issues.
- No separate transceivers required
- Plug-and-play installation
- Reduced compatibility concerns
Cost-Effective Performance
The passive design delivers 10 Gbit/s speeds without active electronics, offering significant cost savings compared to active DAC or fiber optic solutions while maintaining reliable high-speed connectivity.
- Lower cost than active alternatives
- 10 Gbit/s performance
- No external power needed
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is particularly well-suited for connecting network devices within racks or adjacent equipment in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networking environments. Its 6.6-foot length makes it ideal for short-reach connections between switches, routers, servers, and storage arrays where high-speed, reliable connectivity is essential.
Common deployment scenarios include top-of-rack switching configurations, server-to-switch connections in hyper-converged infrastructure, and inter-switch links in small to medium network clusters. The Arista compatibility extends its usefulness to environments utilizing Arista networking equipment alongside other vendor solutions.
