Frequently Asked Questions
What is a passive twinax direct attach cable?
A passive twinax direct attach cable is a copper-based interconnect that provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between SFP+ modules without requiring active electronics or external power. The 10GBase-CU passive twinax design makes it ideal for short-distance data center connections where cost efficiency and low latency are priorities.
Is this SFP+ cable compatible with Dell and HP equipment?
Yes, the AddOn Dell to HP compatible 10GBase-CU SFP+ cable is designed to work with both Dell and HP networking equipment featuring SFP+ ports. This cross-platform compatibility ensures flexibility in mixed-vendor environments.
What is the maximum distance for this 2m direct attach cable?
The 2-meter length is optimized for short-distance connections typical in data center environments, such as switch-to-server or switch-to-storage links. For longer distances, active optical cables or fiber optic solutions may be required.
Do I need external power for this passive twinax cable?
No, the passive design of this 10GBase-CU SFP+ direct attach cable requires no external power source. It operates purely through the copper twinax conductors, reducing complexity and operational costs.
