Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP+ network cable operates as an active direct-attach copper (DAC) solution, incorporating built-in signal conditioning to support high-speed data rates over its 32.8 ft (10 m) span. The cable terminates with SFP+ network connectors, providing a plug-and-play connection for switches, routers, servers, and other network devices equipped with SFP+ ports.
The active feature ensures that signal degradation is minimized, allowing for reliable performance at full bandwidth across the cable's length. This makes it suitable for applications where passive cables might struggle to maintain signal quality, particularly in longer runs within rack environments or between adjacent racks.
Key Product Advantages
The Fortinet SP-CABLE-ADASFP+ delivers several key benefits for network deployments. Its active design provides superior signal integrity compared to passive cables, especially over the 32.8 ft distance, ensuring data transmission remains stable and error-free. This reliability supports uninterrupted network operations and consistent performance across connected devices.
