Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable implements the 10GBASE-CU standard for copper-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections using SFP+ interfaces. The passive design means it requires no external power, drawing minimal power from the connected devices while maintaining signal integrity over its 1-meter length.
The twinaxial cable construction provides balanced signal transmission with effective shielding against external noise. With nickel-plated SFP+ connectors on both ends, the cable ensures consistent electrical performance and mechanical durability through repeated insertions and removals.
Key Product Advantages
This direct attach cable offers several advantages for network deployments where short-distance, high-speed connections are required between SFP+ equipped devices.
Simplified Connectivity
The direct SFP+ to SFP+ connection eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing points of failure and simplifying inventory management while maintaining full 10 Gigabit performance.
- No separate transceivers needed
- Reduced connection complexity
- Lower total cost of deployment
Reliable Performance
With nickel-plated connectors and effective cable shielding, this DAC provides stable electrical performance with minimal signal loss or interference over its 1-meter span.
- Nickel plating resists corrosion
- Shielding reduces EMI/RFI
- Consistent signal quality
Deployment / Use Cases
This 10GBASE-CU DAC cable is designed for specific network scenarios where short-distance, high-bandwidth connections are required between compatible SFP+ ports.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting switches to servers in rack-mounted configurations, establishing high-speed links between network appliances in data centers, and creating backbone connections between networking equipment in server rooms. The 1-meter length makes it ideal for adjacent rack units or closely positioned network devices where minimal cable management is desired.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect top-of-rack switches to servers or storage arrays within the same rack or adjacent racks, providing 10 Gigabit throughput without the complexity of fiber optics.
Network Infrastructure
Establish high-speed links between routers, firewalls, or other network security appliances that support SFP+ interfaces, ensuring low-latency data transfer for critical network traffic.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this DAC cable can support?
This 10GBASE-CU passive DAC cable is designed for short-distance connections up to 1 meter (3.3 feet). Passive DAC cables typically support distances up to 7 meters depending on the specific implementation, but this particular model is optimized for 1-meter connections between adjacent network equipment in rack-mounted or closely positioned deployments.
Does this cable require separate SFP+ transceivers?
No, this is a direct attach copper (DAC) cable with integrated SFP+ connectors on both ends. The cable connects directly to SFP+ ports on compatible network devices without requiring separate optical or copper transceivers. This simplifies deployment and reduces the total number of components in your network infrastructure.
What types of devices is this cable compatible with?
This DAC cable is compatible with network devices that have SFP+ ports and support 10GBASE-CU connections. This includes switches, routers, servers, storage arrays, and network appliances from various manufacturers that implement the SFP+ interface standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. The cable is specifically noted as compatible with Transition Networks devices.
What does 'passive' mean in relation to this DAC cable?
A passive DAC cable contains no active electronics or signal conditioning components. It relies on the electrical characteristics of the copper conductors and connectors to transmit signals between devices. Passive cables draw minimal power from the connected devices' SFP+ ports and typically support shorter distances than active cables, but offer lower cost, lower power consumption, and simpler implementation for short-range connections.
