Product Features
Technical Overview
This DAC cable operates at a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, supporting high-bandwidth applications such as server-to-switch links, storage area networks (SAN), and network aggregation. The SFP+ connectors are hot-pluggable, allowing for easy installation and maintenance without disrupting network operations.
The cable uses copper twinaxial construction, which provides electrical signaling over short distances with excellent signal integrity. This design reduces power consumption compared to active optical cables (AOC) and eliminates the need for external power sources, making it an energy-efficient choice for dense network deployments.
Key Product Advantages
The Aruba J9283D DAC cable simplifies network connectivity by reducing component count and installation time. Its direct attach design eliminates the need for separate transceivers, lowering overall costs and minimizing points of failure in the network path.
Cost-Effective Solution
By combining cable and connector functionality, this DAC cable offers a more affordable option compared to fiber optic transceivers and separate cables, ideal for budget-conscious deployments.
- Reduces transceiver costs
- Lower total cost of ownership
Plug-and-Play Deployment
The cable is pre-terminated with SFP+ connectors, enabling quick installation without technical expertise. Simply connect between compatible devices for immediate network functionality.
- No configuration required
- Minimizes setup time
Reliable Performance
Copper construction ensures stable electrical signaling with minimal signal degradation over its 3-meter length, providing consistent 10 Gbit/s throughput for critical network links.
- Stable data transfer
- Low bit error rate
Deployment / Use Cases
This DAC cable is ideal for short-reach connections within racks or between adjacent racks in data centers. Common applications include linking top-of-rack switches to servers, connecting network switches in stacked configurations, and establishing high-speed links for network storage devices.
