Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable adheres to the 10GBASE-CU standard, enabling 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates over copper twinaxial construction. The passive design simplifies installation and reduces points of failure compared to active optical cables or transceivers, making it a robust choice for short-reach connections within racks or between adjacent equipment.
The cable features SFP+ male connectors on both ends, providing a direct plug-and-play interface for SFP+ ports. This configuration eliminates the need for separate transceivers, lowering total cost of ownership and minimizing compatibility issues. The twinaxial cable type ensures stable signal integrity over distances up to 10 meters, suitable for most intra-rack and top-of-rack applications.
