FAQ
What is the maximum distance this cable supports?
This 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Passive DAC Twinax Cable supports connections up to 5 meters (16.4 feet). This distance is optimal for within-rack or adjacent-rack deployments in data center environments where equipment is in close proximity, ensuring reliable 10 Gbit/s performance without signal degradation.
Does this cable require external power?
No, this is a passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable that operates without external power sources. The passive design means there are no active electronics in the cable assembly, reducing power consumption and heat generation while providing plug-and-play connectivity between SFP+ ports.
What types of devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with network devices featuring SFP+ ports, including specific compatibility with NetGear equipment. It works with switches, routers, servers, and network appliances that support 10GBASE-CU connections through SFP+ interfaces, providing a standardized solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
What is the difference between active and passive DAC cables?
Passive DAC cables like this Axiom model contain only copper wiring with no signal amplification electronics, making them simpler, more power-efficient, and typically less expensive. Active DAC cables include signal conditioning electronics that extend maximum distance but require power and generate additional heat. This passive cable is ideal for short-reach applications up to 5 meters.
