Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SFP+ DAC cable used for?
An SFP+ DAC cable is used to connect network switches, servers, and storage devices with SFP+ ports. It provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over short to medium distances without requiring external power, making it ideal for data center interconnects and server-to-switch connections.
Is this cable compatible with both Cisco and Dell equipment?
Yes, the ENET SFC2-CIDE-7M-ENC is specifically designed for Cisco to Dell compatibility. It works with any device featuring standard SFP+ ports, including Cisco Nexus switches, Dell PowerEdge servers, and Dell Force10 networking equipment.
How far can a 7-meter SFP+ DAC cable transmit data?
This 7-meter direct attach cable can reliably transmit 10 Gigabit Ethernet data up to 7 meters without signal degradation. For distances beyond 7 meters, active optical cables (AOCs) are recommended.
