Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 10GBase-CU direct attach cable?
A 10GBase-CU direct attach cable is a passive copper twinax cable that connects two SFP+ ports for 10 Gigabit Ethernet communication. Unlike active cables, passive designs have no electronics, reducing cost and power consumption while maintaining full 10G performance over distances up to 7 meters.
Is this cable compatible with NetAPP storage systems?
Yes, the AddOn SFP-10G-PDAC7M-NT-AO is specifically designed for NetAPP compatibility. It connects directly to NetAPP storage controllers and compatible switches with SFP+ ports, providing reliable 10G connectivity for storage area network deployments.
What does TAA compliant mean?
TAA compliance ensures the cable meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for federal and government procurement. This certification guarantees the product meets strict manufacturing and sourcing standards.
How far can this passive twinax cable reach?
The 7-meter passive twinax design provides reliable 10GBase-CU transmission up to 7 meters without signal degradation. This length accommodates most data center rack configurations and cabinet-to-cabinet interconnects.
