Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable supports a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications such as server-to-switch links, storage area networks (SAN), and high-performance computing clusters. The passive design reduces power consumption and heat generation compared to active cables, while maintaining compatibility with SFP+ ports on switches, routers, and network interface cards.
Built to the 10GBASE-CU standard, it ensures interoperability with ZyXEL and other SFP+ compliant hardware. The twinaxial shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, preserving signal quality over its 3.3-foot length. This cable is ideal for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections where distance requirements are minimal but speed and reliability are paramount.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom DAC10G-1M-AX offers several distinct benefits for network infrastructure deployments. Its passive twinaxial construction provides a durable and flexible solution that resists bending stress and environmental factors, ensuring long-term reliability in dense cabling environments.
Cost-Effective Performance
Delivers 10 Gigabit speeds without the expense of optical transceivers or fiber cabling, reducing total cost of ownership for short-reach connections.
- Lower power consumption than active cables
- No additional modules required
Simplified Deployment
Features identical SFP+ male connectors on both ends for easy, error-free installation between compatible devices.
- Direct attach design eliminates configuration complexity
- Black color blends with standard rack equipment
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is optimized for connecting network devices within the same rack or adjacent racks in data centers, enterprise server rooms, and IT closets. Its 3.3-foot length is ideal for top-of-rack switching architectures where switches and servers are in close proximity.
Common applications include linking switches to routers, connecting servers to storage arrays, and establishing high-speed backbone links between networking equipment. The passive DAC design is particularly useful in environments where power efficiency and reduced heat output are priorities, such as hyper-converged infrastructure and virtualized server deployments.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with this DAC cable?
This cable is compatible with network devices, switches, and routers that feature SFP+ ports. It is specifically designed to work with ZyXEL equipment and other SFP+ compliant hardware, providing a direct attach connection for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications without requiring additional transceivers.
What is the difference between passive and active DAC cables?
Passive DAC cables, like this Axiom model, do not contain active electronic components for signal amplification or retiming, relying instead on the host device's SFP+ port for signal integrity. This results in lower power consumption, reduced heat output, and generally lower cost compared to active cables, making them ideal for short-distance connections up to 10 meters where signal degradation is minimal.
What is the maximum distance for this twinaxial cable?
This 3.3-foot (1-meter) cable is designed for short-reach connections typically within the same rack or between adjacent racks. Twinaxial DAC cables generally support distances up to 10 meters for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, but this specific length is optimized for minimal-latency applications where equipment is in close proximity, such as top-of-rack switching or server-to-storage links.
