Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable operates at 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates, supporting high-bandwidth applications that demand rapid data movement between network devices. The SFP+ connectors on both ends provide direct compatibility with SFP+ ports commonly found on switches, routers, and network interface cards.
The 6.6 ft (2 m) length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections while maintaining signal integrity. Twinaxial cable construction provides excellent shielding against electromagnetic interference, ensuring clean signal transmission in dense network environments.
Key Product Advantages
This direct attach cable combines performance with practical deployment advantages. The passive design means no configuration or management is required - simply connect and the cable operates immediately at full speed.
Cost-Effective 10G Connectivity
Provides 10 Gigabit performance without the expense of optical transceivers and separate fiber cables, making it ideal for short-distance connections within data centers or server rooms.
- Eliminates transceiver costs
- No separate fiber required
- Immediate plug-and-play operation
Reliable Twinaxial Construction
The twinaxial cable design offers superior shielding compared to standard copper cables, reducing electromagnetic interference and ensuring stable 10G performance over the entire 6.6 ft length.
- Excellent EMI protection
- Stable signal transmission
- Durable construction
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting network switches to servers, storage arrays, or other networking equipment within the same rack or adjacent racks. The 6.6 ft length provides sufficient reach for most rack-to-rack connections while maintaining optimal signal quality.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting top-of-rack switches to servers in data centers, linking network appliances in enterprise environments, and establishing high-speed connections between network devices in server rooms. The Ubiquiti compatibility expands deployment options to include Ubiquiti networking equipment alongside standard SFP+ compatible devices.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect switches to servers or storage within the same rack, providing 10G throughput for virtualized environments, database servers, and high-performance computing applications.
Network Infrastructure Links
Establish reliable connections between core switches, distribution switches, and network appliances where 10G performance is required but fiber optics would be cost-prohibitive for short distances.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This Axiom direct attach cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second). This high-speed capability makes it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications including server-to-switch connections, storage area networks, and data center interconnects where rapid data movement is essential.
What length is this twinaxial cable?
The cable measures 6.6 feet, which is equivalent to 2 meters. This length provides sufficient reach for most rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in data center and server room environments while maintaining optimal signal integrity for 10G performance.
What does 'passive' mean for this DAC cable?
Passive means the cable contains no active electronics or signal conditioning components. It operates without external power and requires no configuration, making it a plug-and-play solution. Passive DAC cables are typically used for shorter distances where signal integrity can be maintained without amplification.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of this cable feature SFP+ network connectors. These connectors directly interface with SFP+ ports commonly found on network switches, routers, servers, and storage devices. The SFP+ form factor supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed protocols.
