Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable adheres to the 10GBASE-CU standard, supporting data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s over copper. The passive design means it does not require external power, relying instead on the SFP+ ports for signal transmission. This results in lower power consumption and heat generation compared to active optical cables or transceiver-based setups.
The twinaxial cable type offers robust shielding against electromagnetic interference, ensuring consistent performance in electrically noisy environments. With a length of 7 meters (23 feet), it provides flexible reach for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections, accommodating typical data center layouts without signal degradation.
