Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for 10GBASE-CU applications, this DAC cable supports data transfer rates of 10 Gbit/s, making it ideal for high-bandwidth tasks such as server-to-switch connections, storage area networks, and network backbone links. The SFP+ connectors adhere to industry standards, ensuring interoperability with Aruba and other compatible devices.
The cable's passive architecture means it operates without signal retiming or electronic components, resulting in lower latency and power consumption compared to active cables. This design choice enhances reliability and reduces thermal output in densely packed racks.
Key Product Advantages
This DAC cable delivers several practical benefits for network administrators and IT professionals. Its plug-and-play installation saves time and eliminates configuration hassles, while the durable twinaxial jacket resists wear in high-traffic areas.
Cost Efficiency
Offers a lower total cost of ownership compared to optical solutions, with no need for separate transceivers or fiber patch cables.
- Eliminates transceiver costs
- Reduces cable management complexity
Reliability
The passive design and solid construction ensure consistent performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
- No external power needed
- Lifetime warranty support
Compatibility
Works seamlessly with Aruba switches and a broad range of SFP+ ports, providing flexibility in mixed-vendor environments.

FAQ
What devices is this DAC cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with a wide range of networking equipment including switches, routers, and OEM modules that feature SFP+ ports. It has been tested for interoperability with Aruba devices, making it suitable for Aruba-based networks as well as other brands that adhere to SFP+ standards.
What is the difference between passive and active DAC cables?
Passive DAC cables, like this one, do not contain signal retiming or electronic components, operating solely through the copper conductors. This results in lower latency, reduced power consumption, and simpler deployment compared to active cables, which include electronics for signal conditioning and longer reach but at higher cost and complexity.
What is the maximum distance supported by this cable?
This cable is designed for short-reach applications up to 1 meter (3.3 feet). It is ideal for connections within a single rack or between adjacent racks in data center environments. For longer distances, active DAC cables or fiber optic solutions would be more appropriate.
Does this cable require any special configuration or software?
No, this is a plug-and-play cable that requires no configuration or software. Simply connect the SFP+ ends to compatible ports on your devices, and it will establish a link automatically, making installation quick and straightforward for network administrators.
