Product Features
Technical Overview
This 10GBASE-CU compliant cable operates at 10 gigabits per second, supporting high-bandwidth applications in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network environments. The twinaxial construction provides superior signal integrity compared to standard copper cabling, with enhanced shielding against electromagnetic interference.
The cable features SFP+ connectors that comply with the SFF-8431 specification, ensuring reliable mechanical and electrical connections. The passive design means the cable contains no active electronics, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced heat generation compared to active DAC cables.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 gigabits per second (10 Gbit/s), making it suitable for 10GbE network connections. It complies with the 10GBASE-CU standard for copper direct attach cables, ensuring reliable high-speed performance for network infrastructure applications.
What types of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of the cable feature SFP+ network male connectors. This configuration allows direct connections between compatible network devices with SFP+ ports, eliminating the need for separate transceivers. The connectors comply with SFF-8431 specifications for reliable mechanical and electrical performance.
Is this cable compatible with HP networking equipment?
Yes, this cable is specifically designed for compatibility with HP networking devices. It has been tested and verified to work reliably with HP switches, routers, and other network equipment that support SFP+ interfaces, including ProCurve and Aruba product lines.
What does 'passive' mean for this DAC cable?
Passive means the cable contains no active electronics or signal conditioning components. It relies on the electrical properties of the twinaxial construction to transmit signals, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced heat generation compared to active DAC cables. Passive cables are typically more cost-effective for shorter distances.
