FAQ
What is the maximum length supported by this twinax cable?
This Axiom cable measures 23 feet (7 meters) in length, which is within the typical 10-meter maximum for passive DAC cables in 10GBASE-CU applications. This length makes it suitable for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in data center environments.
Are both ends of this cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical SFP+ Network - Male connectors. Each end has one SFP+ male connector, providing a symmetrical connection interface for linking compatible network devices without requiring gender adapters or different connector types.
What does 'passive DAC' mean for this cable?
Passive DAC (Direct Attach Copper) means the cable contains no active electronic components for signal amplification or retiming. It relies on the electrical properties of the twinaxial copper conductors to transmit signals up to 10 meters, resulting in lower power consumption, reduced heat generation, and simplified deployment compared to active cables or fiber solutions.
Is this cable compatible with Aruba networking equipment?
Yes, this Axiom JW104A-AX cable is specifically designed for compatibility with Aruba networking devices. It can be used to connect Aruba switches, routers, and other network equipment that support SFP+ interfaces, providing reliable high-speed connectivity within Aruba-based network infrastructures.
