FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Axiom DAC cable?
This Axiom TXC432-CU1M-AX cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second), which is the standard throughput for 10GBASE-CU compliant direct attach copper cables. This makes it suitable for high-speed network applications requiring substantial bandwidth between compatible SFP+ devices.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this cable feature identical SFP+ network male connectors. Each end has a single SFP+ connector, making it a straight-through cable designed for direct connection between two devices with SFP+ ports. This symmetrical design simplifies installation and ensures compatibility with standard SFP+ interfaces.
What does 'passive DAC' mean for this network cable?
Passive DAC (Direct Attach Copper) means this cable does not contain active electronic components for signal amplification or retiming. It draws minimal power directly from the connected devices' SFP+ ports, resulting in lower latency, reduced power consumption, and typically lower cost compared to active DAC or optical solutions while maintaining 10 Gbit/s performance over short distances.
Is this cable compatible with TP-Link networking equipment?
Yes, this Axiom cable is specifically listed as TP-Link compatible, meaning it has been tested and verified to work with TP-Link devices featuring SFP+ ports. However, it should also be compatible with other brands' SFP+ interfaces that adhere to the 10GBASE-CU standard, though compatibility with specific non-TP-Link equipment should be verified against manufacturer specifications.
