Product Features
Technical Overview
This twinaxial cable operates at a data transfer rate of 25 Gbit/s, supporting the 25GBASE-CU standard for copper-based connections. The SFP28 connectors on both ends provide a secure, hot-swappable interface that integrates seamlessly with SFP28 ports on network switches and devices.
The passive DAC architecture reduces complexity and cost compared to active optical cables or separate transceiver modules, while maintaining signal integrity over its 2-meter (6.6-foot) length. This cable is designed for short-reach connections within racks or between adjacent equipment, where copper cabling offers practical advantages in durability and deployment simplicity.
