Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable operates as a 10GBASE-CU (10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper) solution using twinaxial construction, which provides reliable signal integrity for high-speed data transmission. The passive design means it doesn't require external power, making it simpler to deploy and more energy-efficient than active alternatives.
The SFP+ connectors on both ends ensure direct compatibility with SFP+ ports on switches, routers, and network interface cards. This cable follows the SFF-8431 specification for SFP+ direct attach cables, ensuring interoperability with compliant networking equipment.
Key Product Advantages
This DAC cable offers several advantages for network administrators seeking reliable 10GbE connectivity without the complexity and cost of fiber optics. The passive twinaxial design provides a plug-and-play solution that requires no configuration or management overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this DAC cable supports?
This passive twinaxial DAC cable is designed for short-reach connections up to 10 meters. The specific 3.3 ft length makes it ideal for connecting devices within the same rack or between adjacent equipment in data center and enterprise environments.
Is this cable compatible with non-Aruba networking equipment?
While specifically tested and verified for Aruba compatibility, this SFP+ DAC cable follows the SFF-8431 specification and should work with any SFP+ ports that comply with this standard. However, for guaranteed performance, we recommend verifying compatibility with your specific switch or router model.
What does 'passive' mean for this DAC cable?
Passive means the cable doesn't contain active electronics or require external power. It uses the twinaxial copper construction to transmit signals directly between SFP+ ports. This results in lower cost, simpler deployment, and reduced power consumption compared to active DAC cables that include signal conditioning electronics.
