FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Axiom DAC cable?
This Axiom 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Passive DAC Twinax Cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It adheres to the 10GBASE-CU standard for copper-based 10 Gigabit connections, providing high-speed performance for data center and enterprise network links.
How long is the cable, and what type of connectors does it have?
The cable is 9.8 feet long, which is optimal for short-distance connections within racks or between adjacent equipment. Both ends feature SFP+ Network - Male connectors, with one connector on each end, ensuring a direct, secure attachment to SFP+ ports on compatible network devices.
Is this cable compatible with Dell networking equipment?
Yes, this Axiom DAC cable is fully compatible with Dell network devices. It is designed to work seamlessly with Dell switches, routers, and other SFP+ equipped equipment, providing a reliable 10 Gbit/s connection without requiring additional transceivers or adapters.
What does 'passive DAC' mean, and how does it affect performance?
Passive DAC stands for Passive Direct Attach Copper cable. It means the cable does not contain active electronics or require external power, relying instead on the host device's SFP+ port for signal conditioning. This results in lower cost, simpler deployment, and reduced failure points, while still supporting 10 Gbit/s speeds over short distances up to 10 meters.
