FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Axiom twinax cable?
This Axiom DEM-CB300S-AX cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 gigabits per second). It operates on the 10GBASE-CU standard, providing sufficient bandwidth for demanding network applications including server connections, storage networking, and high-performance computing environments.
How long is this SFP+ DAC cable and what applications is this length suitable for?
The cable measures 3 meters, which equals 9.8 feet. This length is ideal for connecting network devices within the same rack or between adjacent equipment in data center environments. It provides sufficient reach for typical top-of-rack switching configurations while maintaining the signal integrity required for reliable 10GbE performance.
What does 'passive DAC' mean for this twinax cable?
Passive DAC (Direct Attach Copper) means the cable contains no active electronic components that require external power. This design simplifies installation, reduces power consumption, and lowers potential points of failure compared to active cables. The passive approach is cost-effective for short-distance applications where signal regeneration isn't necessary.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this cable feature SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) network connectors. Each end has exactly one SFP+ connector, creating a direct SFP+ to SFP+ connection between compatible network devices. These hot-pluggable connectors ensure secure connections and support the 10 Gbit/s data transfer rate.
