Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable adheres to the 10GBASE-CU standard, ensuring interoperability with SFP+ ports that support direct attach copper (DAC) connections. The twinaxial construction provides robust signal integrity, minimizing latency and data loss over its 16.4-foot length, which is suitable for short to medium-range connections within data centers or server rooms.
The SFP+ connectors on both ends are keyed for secure attachment, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. This passive DAC cable operates without active electronics, relying on the host devices for signal conditioning, which enhances reliability and lowers power consumption compared to active optical cables.
