Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable adheres to the 10GBASE-CU standard, which specifies copper-based direct-attach cables for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 10 meters. The twinaxial construction offers robust shielding against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable data transmission in dense network environments.
The SFP+ connectors are keyed for proper orientation and provide a hot-pluggable interface, allowing for easy installation and maintenance without disrupting network operations. The cable's passive nature means it operates without active electronics, relying on the host devices' SFP+ ports for signal conditioning, which enhances reliability and minimizes power consumption.
