Product Features
Technical Overview
This twinaxial cable implements the 10GBASE-CU standard for copper-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The passive design means it doesn't require external power, simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure. The cable's construction provides reliable electrical connectivity between SFP+ ports while maintaining signal quality across the entire 9.8-foot length.
The SFP+ connectors feature a secure latching mechanism that ensures stable connections in high-vibration environments. The twinaxial cable design offers superior noise rejection compared to traditional twisted-pair cables, making it particularly suitable for dense server deployments where electromagnetic interference can be a concern.
Key Product Advantages
This DAC cable provides several distinct advantages for network administrators and IT professionals. The passive twinaxial design eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers, reducing both initial hardware costs and ongoing power consumption. The direct-attach approach simplifies cable management and reduces the number of connection points that could potentially fail.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this DAC cable can support?
This 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Passive DAC Twinax Cable is designed for connections up to 10 meters. The 9.8-foot (3-meter) length provided here is well within this specification, ensuring reliable 10 Gbit/s performance without signal degradation. For longer distances, active optical cables or fiber optic solutions would be more appropriate.
Is this cable compatible with non-HP networking equipment?
Yes, while specifically tested and compatible with HP networking devices, this cable follows the 10GBASE-CU standard and should work with any standards-compliant SFP+ ports. The passive twinaxial design ensures broad compatibility across different manufacturers' equipment that supports SFP+ direct-attach copper cables.
What does 'passive' mean in the context of this DAC cable?
A passive DAC cable contains no active electronic components that require external power. This means the cable uses the electrical signaling from the SFP+ ports directly without amplification or retiming. Passive cables are simpler, more reliable, and consume no additional power compared to active cables, making them ideal for short-distance connections where signal integrity can be maintained without amplification.
Can this cable be used to connect different types of network devices?
This cable is designed to connect network devices with SFP+ ports, including switches, routers, servers, and storage arrays. Both ends feature identical SFP+ male connectors, making it suitable for connecting any two devices with compatible SFP+ interfaces. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for high-bandwidth applications across various network equipment types.
