Product Features
Technical Overview
This 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Passive DAC Twinax Cable operates as a passive direct-attach copper solution, requiring no external power source for signal transmission. The twinaxial construction provides robust electrical performance with effective signal integrity across the 3.3 ft cable length.
The cable supports 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The SFP+ connectors feature a male interface that plugs directly into SFP+ ports on switches, routers, servers, and other network devices. The passive design simplifies deployment while maintaining compatibility with the 10GBASE-CU standard.
Key Product Advantages
This twinaxial cable offers several advantages for network administrators and IT professionals seeking reliable 10 Gigabit connectivity solutions. The direct-attach copper design eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing both component costs and potential points of failure in the signal path.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported distance for this twinaxial cable?
This 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Passive DAC Twinax Cable supports connections up to 10 meters, with this specific model providing a 3.3 ft (1 meter) length. The 10GBASE-CU standard defines maximum distances for passive copper cables based on signal integrity requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission.
What types of devices can I connect with this SFP+ cable?
This cable connects any two devices with SFP+ ports, including network switches, routers, servers, storage arrays, and network interface cards. The SFP+ male connectors plug directly into SFP+ cages on compatible equipment. The cable is specifically designed for HP compatibility but typically works with other brands' SFP+ ports that follow the same electrical specifications.
What does 'passive' mean for this direct-attach cable?
Passive means the cable contains no active electronics or signal conditioning components. It relies on the electrical properties of the copper conductors to transmit signals between devices. Passive DAC cables are simpler, more reliable, and less expensive than active cables but have shorter maximum length limitations, typically up to 7 meters for 10GBASE-CU applications.
How does this twinaxial cable compare to fiber optic solutions?
This twinaxial cable provides a copper-based alternative to fiber optic connections. It offers lower cost since it eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers at each end. While fiber supports longer distances (hundreds of meters to kilometers), this copper solution is ideal for short-reach applications under 10 meters where cost savings are significant and performance meets requirements.
