FAQ
What is the maximum distance this cable can reliably support?
This 10GBASE-CU SFP+ passive DAC twinax cable is designed for reliable 10 Gbit/s performance up to 7 meters (23 feet). This length is ideal for connecting equipment within the same rack or between adjacent racks in data center environments while maintaining signal integrity without requiring signal amplification.
What does 'passive' mean for this direct attach cable?
A passive direct attach cable contains no active electronics or signal conditioning components. This means the cable doesn't require external power and relies on the signal strength from the connected network devices. Passive cables are typically more cost-effective and reliable for short-distance connections, with simpler deployment compared to active cables that include signal amplification electronics.
Is this cable compatible with non-Lenovo network equipment?
While specifically tested and verified for Lenovo compatibility, this 10GBASE-CU compliant SFP+ passive DAC twinax cable should work with any network device featuring standard SFP+ ports that support direct attach copper cables. The cable follows industry standards for 10GBASE-CU implementations, ensuring broad compatibility across different manufacturers' equipment with SFP+ interfaces.
What applications benefit most from this type of cable?
This cable is ideal for data center interconnects, server-to-switch connections, storage networking, and network infrastructure upgrades requiring 10GbE performance. It's particularly valuable for connecting equipment within racks or between adjacent racks where optical transceivers would be unnecessarily expensive, and where the 7-meter length provides sufficient reach without signal degradation.
