Product Features
Technical Overview
This twinaxial cable operates on the 10GBASE-CU standard, which specifies 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper cabling for distances up to 10 meters. The passive design means it does not include active electronics for signal regeneration, relying instead on the host device's SFP+ ports for signal integrity. This results in lower power consumption and reduced heat generation compared to active cables or optical modules.
The cable's twinaxial construction provides balanced signal transmission with effective shielding against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable performance in dense network racks. With a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, it supports high-bandwidth applications such as data center interconnects, server-to-switch links, and storage area networks.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom JH694A-AX cable offers several advantages for network deployments. Its passive twinaxial design provides a cost-effective alternative to active optical cables or separate transceivers, reducing both initial investment and ongoing power costs. The direct attach configuration simplifies installation by eliminating compatibility concerns between transceivers and cables.
High-Speed Performance
Supports 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates for demanding network applications, ensuring minimal latency and high throughput.
- 10GBASE-CU standard compliance
- Low-latency copper transmission
Simplified Connectivity
Features identical SFP+ male connectors on both ends, providing a plug-and-play solution for connecting network devices without additional components.
- No separate transceivers needed
- Direct device-to-device linking
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is well-suited for various network scenarios where short-distance, high-speed connections are required. Its 3.3-foot length makes it ideal for rack-mounted environments, connecting adjacent switches or servers within the same cabinet or enclosure.
Common use cases include linking top-of-rack switches to servers in data centers, connecting network appliances in enterprise server rooms, and establishing high-speed links between storage arrays and network switches. The HP compatibility extends its utility to environments using HP networking equipment, providing a reliable interconnect solution for HP switch and server deployments.
Data Center Interconnects
Use for short-reach connections between switches and servers within data center racks, supporting high-density deployments with minimal cable clutter.
Enterprise Networking
Deploy in server rooms or network closets to establish reliable 10 Gigabit links between critical network infrastructure components.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this cable can support?
This 3.3-foot (1-meter) cable is designed for short-reach connections typically within the same rack or enclosure. The 10GBASE-CU standard it follows supports distances up to 10 meters over twinaxial copper, but this specific cable is optimized for the 1-meter length specified.
Does this cable require external power or active components?
No, this is a passive DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable that does not require external power or contain active electronics. It relies on the host device's SFP+ ports for signal transmission, resulting in lower power consumption and simpler deployment compared to active cables.
What types of devices can I connect with this cable?
This cable connects network devices with compatible SFP+ ports, including switches, routers, servers, and storage arrays. Both ends feature SFP+ male connectors, making it suitable for direct connections between any two SFP+ enabled devices within its 3.3-foot length range.
Is this cable compatible with HP networking equipment?
Yes, the Axiom JH694A-AX is designed as HP compatible, meaning it can be used with HP switches, servers, and other networking devices that support SFP+ connections. This compatibility ensures reliable performance in HP network environments.
