Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 10GBase-CU SFP+ direct attach cable?
A 10GBase-CU SFP+ direct attach cable is a passive copper twinax cable that connects two SFP+ ports for 10 Gigabit Ethernet communication. Unlike active cables, passive designs consume no power and are ideal for short-distance, high-speed data center connections up to 10 meters.
Is this cable compatible with my HP and Dell equipment?
Yes. This AddOn cable is dual OEM compatible with both HP and Dell infrastructure. It's uniquely programmed and tested to initialize and perform identically to HP and Dell's individual cables, ensuring seamless integration regardless of your equipment manufacturer.
What does TAA compliance mean?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance means this cable meets U.S. government procurement standards and is eligible for federal, state, and educational institution purchasing programs. It's manufactured in compliance with Buy American provisions and approved country-of-origin requirements.
How does a passive twinax cable differ from an active direct attach cable?
Passive twinax cables require no power, generate minimal heat, and are more cost-effective for distances up to 10 meters. Active cables include signal conditioning electronics, consume power, and are necessary for longer distances or specific performance requirements. For 2-meter connections, passive designs offer superior reliability and value.
