Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable operates as a 10GBASE-CU (copper) direct attach cable, utilizing twinaxial construction to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 7 meters. The passive design means it does not require external power, reducing complexity and potential points of failure in your network infrastructure.
The SFP+ connectors provide a hot-pluggable interface that integrates seamlessly with compatible switches, routers, and network adapters. This cable meets the electrical and mechanical specifications for SFP+ ports, ensuring reliable signal integrity and compatibility across a wide range of networking hardware.
Key Product Advantages
This direct attach cable offers several advantages for network administrators and IT professionals. The passive twinaxial design provides a cost-effective alternative to active optical cables while maintaining high performance for short-reach applications within racks or between adjacent equipment.
Simplified Connectivity
Eliminates the need for separate SFP+ transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying inventory management for network deployments.
- Direct SFP+ to SFP+ connection
- No external power required
- Plug-and-play installation
Reliable Performance
The twinaxial construction and passive electronics ensure stable 10 Gbit/s performance with minimal signal degradation over the 7-meter distance.
- 10GBASE-CU compliant
- Low latency data transfer
- Consistent throughput
Enterprise Durability
Built to withstand the rigors of data center environments with robust connectors and cable construction that resists wear from frequent handling.
- Lifetime warranty
- HP compatibility tested
- Industrial-grade materials
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting network switches to servers, storage arrays, or other networking equipment within the same rack or adjacent racks. The 23 ft length provides flexibility for cable management while keeping connections within the optimal distance for passive twinaxial performance.
Common deployment scenarios include top-of-rack switching in data centers, connecting blade server enclosures to aggregation switches, and linking network appliances in enterprise server rooms. The HP compatibility makes it particularly suitable for environments standardized on HP networking equipment, though it works with any SFP+ compliant device.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect switches to servers within the same rack for high-speed server-to-server or server-to-storage communication in virtualized environments.
Network Infrastructure
Link core switches to distribution switches or connect network security appliances where 10 Gigabit throughput is required for inspection and filtering.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this cable supports for 10 Gbit/s performance?
This 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Passive DAC Twinax Cable supports reliable 10 Gbit/s performance up to 7 meters (23 ft). This distance is optimal for passive twinaxial cables, making it suitable for connections within the same rack or between adjacent racks in data center and enterprise environments.
Are both ends of this cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical SFP+ Network - Male connectors. Each end has one SFP+ male connector, creating a symmetrical direct attach cable that connects SFP+ ports on networking equipment without requiring gender changers or adapters.
What does 'passive' mean for this direct attach cable?
Passive means the cable contains no active electronics or signal amplification components. It relies on the electrical properties of the twinaxial copper construction to transmit signals up to 7 meters. This simplifies deployment by eliminating power requirements and reduces potential failure points compared to active cables.
Is this cable compatible with non-HP networking equipment?
While specifically tested for HP compatibility, this SFP+ direct attach cable works with any networking device that has standard SFP+ ports and supports 10GBASE-CU connections. The cable meets the electrical and mechanical specifications for SFP+ interfaces, ensuring broad compatibility across different manufacturers' equipment.
