Product Features
Technical Overview
This twinaxial cable operates as a passive direct-attach copper (DAC) solution, transmitting data at 10 Gbit/s over its 3.3-foot length. The SFP+ connectors on both ends provide a secure, hot-pluggable interface that maintains signal integrity without requiring external power.
The passive design means the cable contains no active electronics, relying instead on the host devices' SFP+ ports for signal conditioning. This approach reduces power consumption and heat generation while maintaining compatibility with standard 10GBASE-CU specifications.

FAQ
What devices is this twinax cable compatible with?
This Axiom 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Passive DAC Twinax Cable is compatible with routers, switches, and network devices that feature SFP+ ports. It's specifically designed for IBM-compatible enterprise networking equipment and supports standard 10GBASE-CU specifications for broad interoperability across different manufacturers' hardware.
What does 'passive DAC' mean for this cable?
Passive DAC (Direct Attach Copper) means this twinax cable contains no active electronics or signal conditioning components. It relies on the host devices' SFP+ ports to handle signal processing, which reduces power consumption, minimizes heat generation, and provides a cost-effective connectivity solution for short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications up to the cable's 3.3-foot length.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second), making it suitable for high-bandwidth network applications. The twinaxial construction maintains signal integrity at this speed over the 3.3-foot cable length, providing reliable performance for data center interconnects, server connections, and network backbone links.
How does this cable compare to active optical cables?
This passive DAC cable offers several advantages over active optical cables for short-distance applications. It requires no external power, generates less heat, and typically costs less while providing the same 10 Gbit/s performance over distances up to several meters. The copper construction also makes it more durable for frequent handling in data center environments compared to delicate fiber optic cables.
