Product Features
Technical Overview
This 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Passive DAC Twinax Cable operates as a copper-based direct-attach solution that conforms to the 10GBASE-CU standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twinaxial cabling. The passive design means it does not include active electronics for signal amplification, relying instead on the host devices' SFP+ ports for power and signal conditioning.
The cable's twinaxial construction provides balanced transmission lines that minimize electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable 10 Gbit/s data transfer across its 3.3 ft (1 m) length. This makes it particularly effective for connecting switches, routers, servers, and storage devices within the same rack or adjacent equipment.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom DEM-CB100S-AX offers several practical benefits for network infrastructure deployment. Its direct-attach design simplifies installation by eliminating separate transceiver modules, reducing both component count and potential points of failure in the connection path.
Cost-Effective 10GbE Solution
By combining cable and connector functionality in a single unit, this passive DAC provides a more economical approach to 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity compared to optical transceiver solutions, especially for short-distance applications.
- No separate transceivers required
- Lower total cost of ownership
- Simplified inventory management
Reliable Performance
The twinaxial construction and passive design deliver stable 10 Gbit/s performance with minimal latency, making it suitable for data-intensive applications where consistent throughput is essential.
- Stable signal integrity
- Low-latency transmission
- Consistent 10GbE performance
Deployment / Use Cases
This SFP+ passive DAC twinax cable is designed for specific networking scenarios where short-distance, high-speed connections are required between compatible devices. Its 3.3 ft (1 m) length makes it ideal for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections in data center and enterprise environments.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting top-of-rack switches to servers within the same rack, linking storage arrays to network switches in close proximity, or establishing high-speed connections between network appliances in server rooms. The cable's compatibility with D-Link and other network devices supporting SFP+ interfaces expands its utility across diverse networking ecosystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Axiom DEM-CB100S-AX cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit per second), making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The 10GBASE-CU standard ensures reliable performance at this speed across the cable's 3.3 ft (1 m) length when used with compatible SFP+ network devices.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this cable feature SFP+ network connectors. Each end has exactly one SFP+ connector, providing a direct-attach solution that connects directly to SFP+ ports on switches, routers, servers, or other network devices without requiring separate transceiver modules.
How long is this twinax cable and what is it best used for?
This cable measures 3.3 ft (1 meter) in length. This makes it ideal for short-distance connections within the same rack or between adjacent equipment in data center, server room, or enterprise networking environments. The 1-meter length is particularly suitable for connecting top-of-rack switches to servers or linking closely positioned network devices that require 10 Gbit/s connectivity.
