Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 10GBASE-CU SFP+ DAC cable used for?
A 10GBASE-CU SFP+ DAC cable provides direct, high-speed connectivity between network switches, servers, and storage systems. It's commonly used in data centers for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch, and server-to-storage connections where 10Gbps bandwidth is required over short distances (up to 10 meters).
Is the SFC2-CIHPB-2M compatible with my Cisco and HP servers?
Yes, the SFC2-CIHPB-2M is specifically designed for Cisco and HP server compatibility. It works with SFP+ ports on Cisco UCS servers, HP ProLiant servers, and compatible network infrastructure. Always verify your server's SFP+ port specifications before deployment.
What are the advantages of DAC cables over optical cables?
Direct attach copper cables offer significant cost savings compared to active optical cables and transceiver modules. They consume minimal power, introduce negligible latency, require no additional optics, and provide reliable performance for short-distance interconnects in enterprise data centers.
Why is TAA compliance important for this SFP+ cable?
TAA compliance ensures the cable meets U.S. government procurement standards and is eligible for federal, state, and municipal contracts. This certification is essential for organizations subject to Buy American Act requirements and regulated procurement policies.
