Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes twinaxial (twinax) technology, which consists of two inner conductors surrounded by a dielectric insulator and an outer shield. This design supports high-frequency signals with reduced crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ideal for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.
The cable features SFP+ connectors on both ends, providing a hot-pluggable interface that complies with SFP+ MSA standards. The passive design means no signal conversion or active electronics are involved, resulting in lower power consumption and simplified deployment compared to active optical cables or transceiver modules.

FAQ
What devices is this twinaxial cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with network devices, routers, and switches that feature SFP+ ports. It provides a direct connection between SFP+ interfaces without requiring separate transceivers, making it suitable for various networking equipment from different manufacturers that adhere to SFP+ MSA standards.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This twinaxial cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second). This makes it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications where high-speed data movement is required between connected devices, such as in data center environments or enterprise network backbones.
What does 'passive' mean for this network cable?
A passive cable contains no active electronics or signal conversion components. This twinaxial cable simply transmits electrical signals between the two SFP+ connectors without amplification, retiming, or protocol conversion. Passive cables typically have lower power consumption, generate less heat, and are more cost-effective than active cables for short-distance applications.
What is the advantage of twinaxial construction for network cables?
Twinaxial (twinax) construction uses two inner conductors surrounded by insulation and shielding. This design provides excellent signal integrity for high-frequency applications by minimizing crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. For 10 Gbit/s connections over short distances, twinax cables offer reliable performance with stable impedance characteristics compared to other cable types.
