User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this SFP+ cable?
This AddOn direct attach cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbps using 10GBase-CU technology. The active twinax design maintains this speed consistently across the entire 3-meter length, providing reliable high-performance connectivity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks.
Is this cable compatible with my existing SFP+ switches?
Yes, this cable is MSA compliant, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of SFP+ switches and network interface cards from various manufacturers. The 10GBase-CU technology follows industry standards for copper-based SFP+ connections, making it interoperable with most 10GbE networking equipment that accepts SFP+ modules.
What does 'active twinax' mean for this direct attach cable?
Active twinax refers to the cable's built-in electronics that regenerate signals along the cable length. Unlike passive cables that simply transmit signals, this active design boosts and cleans the signal, maintaining integrity over the 3-meter distance. This results in more reliable performance with less signal attenuation, especially beneficial for longer reaches within data center environments.
What is the significance of TAA compliance for this product?
TAA compliance indicates this cable meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, making it suitable for U.S. government contracts and educational institutions that require TAA-certified products. This certification ensures the cable is manufactured in or comes from designated countries that have trade agreements with the United States.
How does this direct attach cable compare to using separate transceivers with fiber?
This direct attach cable provides a simpler, more cost-effective solution for short-reach connections up to 3 meters. Unlike fiber setups that require separate transceivers at each end plus fiber optic cable, this solution integrates everything into a single cable assembly. It eliminates the need for additional transceivers, reduces points of failure, and typically costs less while delivering the same 10 Gbps performance for within-rack applications.
What type of warranty comes with this SFP+ direct attach cable?
AddOn provides a lifetime warranty for this SFP+ direct attach cable, offering long-term protection against manufacturing defects. This warranty demonstrates confidence in the product's durability and reliability for continuous operation in networking environments, providing peace of mind for enterprise deployments where uptime is critical.
