Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes a passive design, eliminating the need for external power and simplifying deployment while maintaining signal integrity over its 9.8-foot length. The 26/30 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper conductors support efficient data transmission at 25 Gb/s, ensuring minimal signal loss and reliable performance in high-bandwidth applications.
The SFP28 connectors are keyed for secure attachment, providing a stable connection that reduces the risk of disconnection in active network environments. This cable is engineered to meet the technical demands of modern networking, offering a cost-effective alternative to fiber optic solutions for short-distance, high-speed interconnects.
