Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 10GBase-CU direct attach cable used for?
A 10GBase-CU direct attach cable connects SFP+ ports on network switches, servers, and storage devices to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over short distances. The passive twinax design makes it ideal for data center rack interconnects where low latency and high bandwidth are critical.
Is the AddOn AXC761-0-5M compatible with Netgear equipment?
Yes, the AddOn AXC761-0-5M is Netgear AXC761 compatible and functions as a direct replacement for OEM cables. It meets the same performance specifications and connector standards, ensuring seamless integration with Netgear switches and networking infrastructure.
What does TAA compliant mean for networking cables?
TAA compliance (Trade Agreements Act) ensures the product meets U.S. federal procurement standards and is manufactured in compliant countries. This certification is required for government and public sector IT purchases, making the AddOn AXC761-0-5M suitable for regulated environments.
How far can a 50cm SFP+ direct attach cable reach?
The 50cm length is optimized for short-reach connectivity within data center racks or between adjacent racks. For longer distances, active optical cables or fiber optic solutions are recommended, but this passive twinax cable provides cost-effective performance for typical intra-rack deployments.
