FAQ
What is the maximum distance this twinax cable supports?
This 3.3-foot cable is designed for short-distance connections within racks or between adjacent equipment. Twinaxial cables like this one typically support distances up to 10 meters for 10GBASE-CU applications, making them ideal for data center environments where equipment is closely positioned.
What devices are compatible with this SFP+ DAC cable?
The cable is compatible with routers, switches, and network devices that support SFP+ interfaces. It is specifically IBM compatible, meaning it works with IBM systems and infrastructure. The SFP+ connectors ensure compatibility with standard SFP+ ports found on enterprise networking equipment from various manufacturers.
What does 'passive' mean for this DAC cable?
Passive means the cable contains no active electronics or signal conditioning components. It relies on the electrical characteristics of the twinaxial construction to transmit signals, which makes it simpler, more reliable, and less expensive than active cables. Passive DAC cables are ideal for short distances where signal integrity can be maintained without amplification.
Can this cable be used for 1GbE or other speed connections?
This cable is specifically designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) applications using the 10GBASE-CU standard. While it may physically connect to 1GbE SFP ports, optimal performance is achieved with 10GbE equipment. For guaranteed performance at different speeds, consult the compatibility specifications of your networking equipment.
