Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable adheres to the 10GBASE-CU standard, delivering a consistent 10 Gbit/s data transfer rate for high-speed network traffic. The twinaxial construction provides robust signal integrity over distances up to 10 meters, making it ideal for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections where low latency and reliability are critical.
The SFP+ connectors are keyed for secure insertion and removal, reducing the risk of connection issues. Passive design means no active electronics are embedded, resulting in lower power consumption and heat generation compared to active cables. This cable is engineered to meet industry specifications for 10GbE applications, ensuring interoperability with compliant SFP+ ports.
