Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 10GBASE-CU SFP+ DAC passive cable used for?
A 10GBASE-CU SFP+ DAC passive cable connects network switches, servers, and storage devices at 10 Gbps speeds without requiring external power or transceivers. It's ideal for short-distance data center interconnects up to 5 meters.
Is this SFP+ DAC cable compatible with my Juniper or Intel equipment?
Yes, the ENET SFC2-JNIN-5M-ENC is specifically engineered for cross-compatibility with Juniper and Intel networking platforms, ensuring seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
What are the advantages of passive DAC cables over active alternatives?
Passive DAC cables consume no power, generate minimal heat, have lower latency, and cost significantly less than active optical cables—making them the preferred choice for cost-conscious data centers with shorter cable runs.
How far can a 5M passive DAC cable transmit without signal loss?
The 5-meter length is the maximum recommended distance for passive 10GBASE-CU cables to maintain signal integrity. For longer distances, active cables or fiber optics are recommended.
