FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Axiom twinax cable?
This cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second), which is ideal for high-bandwidth applications like server networking, storage area networks, and data center interconnects. It uses the 10GBASE-CU standard to deliver fast and reliable Ethernet performance over copper twinaxial cabling.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) male connectors. This design provides a direct, secure connection to SFP+ ports on network devices such as switches, routers, and servers, ensuring compatibility with modern high-speed networking hardware.
Is this cable compatible with HP network equipment?
Yes, this Axiom twinax cable is fully compatible with HP network devices. It is designed to work seamlessly with HP switches, servers, and other networking equipment, making it a reliable choice for HP-based infrastructure without requiring additional adapters or configuration.
What does 'passive DAC' mean for this cable?
Passive DAC stands for Passive Direct Attach Copper. It means the cable does not include active electronics or require external power; instead, it draws power directly from the connected network devices. This results in lower latency, reduced power consumption, and simpler plug-and-play installation compared to active cables.
