Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable operates as a 10GBASE-CU compliant solution, supporting data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. The passive design means it doesn't require external power, simplifying deployment and reducing points of failure in your network infrastructure. The SFP+ connectors are industry-standard, ensuring broad compatibility with SFP+ ports on networking hardware.
The twinaxial cable construction provides excellent shielding against electromagnetic interference, which is crucial for maintaining signal quality in dense networking environments. With a length of 1 meter (3.3 feet), this cable is ideal for connecting adjacent rack-mounted equipment or devices in close proximity within server cabinets.
Key Product Advantages
This DAC cable delivers several practical benefits for network administrators and IT professionals. The passive configuration eliminates the need for signal conditioning electronics, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced heat generation compared to active cables. This makes it particularly suitable for high-density deployments where thermal management is a concern.
Simplified Deployment
The plug-and-play design requires no configuration or management software, allowing for quick installation between compatible devices.
- No external power required
- Direct physical connection
- Immediate link establishment
Cost-Effective 10GbE Solution
As a copper-based alternative to fiber optic connections, this cable provides 10 Gigabit performance at a lower total cost of ownership.
- Lower initial investment
- Reduced maintenance complexity
- Compatible with existing copper infrastructure
Deployment / Use Cases
This twinax cable is specifically designed for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networking environments. Its 1-meter length makes it ideal for connecting top-of-rack switches to servers within the same rack or for linking adjacent networking equipment in cabinet configurations.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting Mikrotik routers to compatible switches, establishing high-speed links between storage arrays and servers, or creating backbone connections within server clusters. The cable's passive nature makes it particularly suitable for environments where power availability at the connection point is limited or where minimizing active components is desirable for reliability.
Physical Profile
The cable measures 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length with a lightweight construction weighing approximately 6.08 ounces (172.37 grams). The twinaxial design provides flexibility for routing within tight spaces while maintaining the structural integrity needed for reliable long-term operation. The SFP+ connectors feature a secure latching mechanism that ensures stable connections even in environments with vibration or movement.

FAQ
What devices is this DAC cable compatible with?
This Axiom DAC cable is compatible with networking devices featuring SFP+ ports, specifically designed for use with Mikrotik routers and switches. It supports routers, switches, and other network devices that accept SFP+ connections for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The cable works with any equipment that complies with the 10GBASE-CU standard for direct-attach copper connections.
What does 'passive' mean for this DAC cable?
Passive means the cable doesn't contain active electronics for signal conditioning or amplification. It relies on the electrical properties of the copper conductors to transmit signals up to 1 meter. This results in lower power consumption, reduced heat generation, and simpler deployment compared to active cables that require power and signal processing components.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second), which is equivalent to 1.25 GB/s. This performance level is suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks, providing sufficient bandwidth for data-intensive applications, server-to-server communications, and high-speed storage connections within data center environments.
How long is the cable and what connectors does it use?
The cable measures 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length and features SFP+ network connectors on both ends. Each end has a single SFP+ connector, making it a direct-attach cable for point-to-point connections between compatible devices. The SFP+ connectors use the standard latching mechanism for secure physical connections.
