Frequently Asked Questions
What is a passive SFP+ DAC twinax cable?
A passive SFP+ DAC (direct attach copper) twinax cable is a cost-effective, low-power interconnect solution that connects two SFP+ ports directly without requiring active transceivers. The Axiom UDC-7-AX passive cable uses copper conductors to deliver 10 Gbps over short distances, making it ideal for data center and enterprise networking.
Is the Axiom UDC-7-AX compatible with Ubiquiti equipment?
Yes, the Axiom UDC-7-AX is Ubiquiti-compatible and works with EdgeSwitch, UniFi switches, and any device with standard SFP+ ports. It provides reliable 10GBASE-CU connectivity for Ubiquiti-based network deployments.
How far can a 7-meter passive DAC twinax cable transmit?
The 7-meter length is optimal for rack-to-rack and switch-to-server connections within data centers and enterprise environments. Passive DAC cables like the 10GBASE-CU SFP+ cable are rated for distances up to 7 meters without signal degradation, making this length ideal for most deployment scenarios.
What are the advantages of passive vs. active SFP+ cables?
Passive SFP+ DAC twinax cables eliminate transceiver costs, consume no power, and introduce zero latency compared to active alternatives. The Axiom UDC-7-AX provides a cost-effective, reliable solution for high-speed networking without the complexity of active modules.
