Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes SFP+ technology to achieve a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, providing the bandwidth needed for modern network demands including virtualization, storage area networks, and high-density computing. The copper material ensures effective electrical conductivity and resistance to interference, which is essential for maintaining data integrity over its 3.3-foot length.
Each end of the cable features a single SFP+ network connector, configured as 1 x SFP+ Network on both the first and second ends. This symmetrical design simplifies installation and compatibility, allowing for plug-and-play connectivity without the need for additional transceivers or converters. The cable is specifically engineered for network devices, ensuring broad interoperability within SFP+ infrastructure.
Key Product Advantages
The Aruba R9D19A cable delivers several advantages for network administrators and IT professionals. Its direct attach copper design reduces latency compared to fiber optic solutions with separate transceivers, offering a cost-effective and high-performance option for short-range connections.
