Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 10GBASE-CU SFP+ direct-attach cable?
A 10GBASE-CU SFP+ DAC cable is a passive copper interconnect that delivers 10 gigabit Ethernet connectivity over short distances (typically up to 10 meters). Unlike active cables or transceivers, passive DAC cables require no power and offer lower total cost of ownership for data center and enterprise networks.
Is this DAC cable compatible with ARUBA, AVAYA, and NORTEL equipment?
Yes. The ENET SFC2-ABAV-2M-ENC is specifically engineered for compatibility with ARUBA, AVAYA, and NORTEL network switches and line cards. Verify your switch model supports SFP+ direct-attach cables before deployment.
What is the maximum cable length for 10GBASE-CU passive copper DAC?
Passive 10GBASE-CU copper DAC cables typically support distances up to 10 meters without signal degradation. This 2-meter assembly is ideal for short-reach connections such as switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links within racks and adjacent equipment.
Do I need transceivers or power supplies for this cable?
No. The passive copper direct-attach cable requires no external power, transceivers, or active electronics. Simply connect both SFP+ ends to compatible ports and the cable is operational immediately.
