Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable operates on the 10GBASE-CX4 standard, which specifies 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper cabling with CX4 connectors. The 3.3-foot length provides flexibility for short-range connections, reducing cable clutter while maintaining signal integrity at high speeds.
The CX4 connector type is a robust, shielded interface that supports the full 10 Gbit/s bandwidth, ensuring data integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. This cable is specifically compatible with network devices that feature CX4 ports, offering a plug-and-play solution for high-throughput applications.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom cable delivers consistent high-speed connectivity with minimal latency, backed by a lifetime warranty for long-term reliability. Its direct attach design eliminates the need for separate transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure in the network path.
High-Speed Performance
Supports 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates, enabling rapid data movement between network devices without bottlenecks.
- 10GBASE-CX4 standard compliance
- Full-duplex operation capability
Robust Connectivity
Male CX4 connectors on both ends provide a secure, shielded connection that resists disconnection and interference.
- Shielded connector design
- Positive locking mechanism
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting switches, routers, servers, or storage devices that utilize CX4 interfaces in Cisco network environments. Its 3.3-foot length makes it particularly suitable for rack-mounted equipment where devices are in close proximity, such as within the same rack or adjacent racks in data center configurations.
Common applications include backbone connections between network switches, inter-server links in high-performance computing clusters, and storage area network (SAN) connections where 10 Gigabit throughput is required. The direct attach nature of this cable simplifies these deployments by providing a complete, tested connection solution.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect top-of-rack switches to aggregation switches or servers within the same rack for high-speed data transfer.
Server-to-Server Links
Establish low-latency connections between servers in cluster configurations for distributed computing applications.
