Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable operates on the 10GBASE-CU standard, which defines 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper twinaxial cabling. The twinaxial construction provides effective signal integrity over distances up to 10 meters, with this model optimized for 5-meter runs.
The SFP+ connectors support hot-swappable deployment and maintain full duplex 10 Gbit/s throughput. Passive DAC technology eliminates the need for signal conversion or external power, reducing latency and power consumption compared to active optical or copper solutions.
Key Product Advantages
This direct attach cable offers several practical benefits for network administrators and IT professionals seeking reliable high-speed interconnects.
Simplified Deployment
With identical SFP+ male connectors on both ends, this cable provides straightforward plug-and-play connectivity between compatible network devices without configuration requirements.
- No external power needed
- Hot-swappable installation
- HP equipment compatibility
Cost-Effective Performance
Passive DAC technology delivers 10 Gbit/s throughput at a lower cost per port compared to optical transceivers, making it economical for high-density switch-to-server connections.
- Lower latency than active solutions
- Reduced power consumption

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second) using the 10GBASE-CU standard over twinaxial copper. It provides full duplex throughput suitable for high-speed network connections between switches, servers, and storage devices.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature identical SFP+ male connectors. Each end has one SFP+ Network - Male connector, making it a symmetrical direct attach cable designed for connecting two SFP+ ports on compatible network equipment.
How long is this twinaxial cable?
The cable measures 16.4 feet, which equals approximately 5 meters. This length is optimized for connections within standard data center racks or between adjacent equipment cabinets where short-distance, high-speed interconnects are required.
What does 'Passive DAC' mean for this cable?
Passive DAC (Direct Attach Copper) means the cable operates without signal conditioning electronics or external power. It uses the natural electrical properties of twinaxial copper to transmit signals up to 10 meters, resulting in lower cost, reduced power consumption, and minimal latency compared to active cables.
