FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this SFP+ Direct Attach Cable?
This cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbps using 10GBase-CU technology over passive twinaxial cable. It is designed for full-duplex 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections, providing high-speed performance for data networking applications such as server-to-switch links and data center interconnects.
Is this cable compatible with Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6450 switches?
Yes, this SFP+ Direct Attach Cable is validated for compatibility with Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6450 series switches. It is MSA compliant, ensuring interoperability with SFP+ ports that adhere to industry standards, and offers a plug-and-play experience without requiring additional configuration or drivers.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA compliance indicates that this cable meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for U.S. government procurement contracts. It ensures the product is manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country, providing assurance for federal and enterprise buyers who must adhere to these regulations.
How does a passive twinax cable differ from an active optical cable?
A passive twinax cable, like this one, uses copper wiring to transmit electrical signals without external power, resulting in lower cost, reduced latency, and simpler deployment for short distances (up to a few meters). In contrast, active optical cables use fiber optics with built-in electronics for longer reaches but require power and are typically more expensive. This passive design is ideal for rack-level connections where distance is minimal.
What is the warranty coverage for this SFP+ Direct Attach Cable?
This cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty, providing long-term protection against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty ensures reliable performance over the product's lifespan, offering peace of mind for deployments in critical network environments such as data centers and enterprise infrastructures.
Can this cable be used for connections longer than 1 meter?
No, this specific model is designed for a 1-meter reach, which is optimal for short-distance connections within racks or between adjacent equipment. For longer distances, consider active optical cables or fiber optic transceivers with appropriate cabling, as passive twinax cables are typically limited to a few meters due to signal attenuation over copper.
