Product Features
Technical Overview
This twinaxial direct attach cable implements the 10GBASE-CU standard for copper-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The passive design means the cable contains no active electronics, relying instead on the signal integrity of the twinaxial construction to maintain data transmission quality over distances up to 7 meters.
The cable features identical SFP+ male connectors on both ends, each providing a single SFP+ network interface. This symmetrical connector configuration ensures straightforward installation and compatibility with a wide range of SFP+ ports on network equipment from various manufacturers.
Key Product Advantages
This DAC cable offers several practical benefits for network administrators and IT professionals seeking reliable 10GbE connectivity without the complexity and cost of fiber optic solutions.
Cost-Effective 10GbE Solution
By combining cable and connector in a single integrated unit, this DAC eliminates the need for separate SFP+ transceivers, reducing both initial hardware costs and ongoing maintenance expenses.
- No separate transceivers required
- Lower total cost of ownership
- Simplified inventory management
Reliable Passive Operation
The passive design ensures consistent performance without relying on internal electronics that can fail or require power, providing dependable connectivity for critical network links.
- No active components to fail
- Consistent signal quality
- No external power required
Easy Deployment
With identical SFP+ connectors on both ends and a manageable 23-foot length, this cable simplifies installation between adjacent rack-mounted equipment or within the same server cabinet.
- Symmetrical connector design
- Optimal for rack-to-rack connections
- Direct plug-and-play installation
Deployment / Use Cases
This 10GBASE-CU SFP+ DAC cable is specifically designed for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in modern network environments. Its 7-meter maximum distance makes it ideal for interconnecting equipment within the same rack, between adjacent racks, or across short distances within data center and server room environments.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting top-of-rack switches to servers, linking aggregation switches to core switches, establishing connections between storage arrays and servers, or providing high-speed links for virtualization hosts. The cable's passive design and twinaxial construction ensure reliable performance for these bandwidth-intensive applications while maintaining signal integrity across the entire 23-foot length.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance supported by this DAC cable?
This Axiom 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Passive DAC Twinax Cable supports connections up to 7 meters (23 feet). This distance is optimal for connecting equipment within the same rack, between adjacent racks, or across short distances in data center environments where copper-based 10GbE solutions provide cost advantages over fiber optics.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this cable feature identical SFP+ male connectors. Each end has a single SFP+ network interface connector, making the cable symmetrical and easy to install between compatible SFP+ ports on network switches, routers, servers, or storage devices without worrying about orientation or different connector types.
What does 'passive' mean for this DAC cable?
Passive means this direct attach cable contains no active electronics or signal conditioning components. It relies on the inherent signal integrity of the twinaxial cable construction to maintain data transmission quality. This results in a simpler, more reliable design that doesn't require external power and typically offers better long-term reliability than active cables with embedded electronics.
What network devices are compatible with this cable?
This cable is compatible with network devices that support SFP+ interfaces, including switches, routers, servers, and storage arrays from various manufacturers. The 10GBASE-CU standard ensures interoperability with equipment designed for copper-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections, though specific compatibility should always be verified with your equipment manufacturer's documentation.
