FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This cable supports a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, compliant with the 10GBASE-CU standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper twinaxial cabling. It enables high-speed connectivity for network devices, reducing latency in data-intensive applications like server clustering, storage access, and virtualized environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature SFP+ Network - Male connectors. Each end has one SFP+ male connector, providing a direct plug-and-play interface for SFP+ ports on switches, routers, servers, and other network equipment without requiring separate transceivers.
How long is the cable, and what is it suitable for?
The cable is 16.4 feet (5 meters) long, making it ideal for short-reach connections within data centers or enterprise networks. It is designed for distances up to 16.4 feet, such as linking devices in the same rack or between adjacent racks, where high-speed 10 Gbit/s performance is needed without the cost of optical solutions.
What does 'passive DAC' mean for this cable?
Passive DAC stands for Passive Direct Attach Copper, meaning the cable has no active electronics or signal amplification. It relies on the twinaxial copper construction to transmit signals, resulting in lower power consumption, reduced heat, and a simpler, more cost-effective design compared to active cables or optical transceivers for short-distance links.
