Cost-Effective Fiber Alternative SFP+ DAC (Direct Attach Copper) passive twinax cable is suitable for very short distances transmission and offers a highly cost-effective and low power solution to connect within racks and across adjacent racks. SFP+ directly attached Twinax cable assemblies support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Fibre Channel, and other industry standards. This copper cable provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing expensive fiber optic transceivers and cables for distances up to 7 meters. 10G SFP+ DAC Twinax Cable for Cisco, Ubiquiti, D-Link, Supermicro, Netgear, other Open Switches. Connector Type: SFP+ to SFP+ Max Data Rate: 10Gbps Minimum Bend Radius: 23mm Wire AWG: 30AWG Cable Length: 5m (16.4ft) Jacket Material: PVC (OFNR) Temperature: 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F) Protocols: 1x InfiniBand QDR, DDR, SDR, 10G Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel Install a 10G DAC Cable: A. Install SFP+ Modules 1. Remove the protective ESD cap from the connector. 2. Slide the SFP+ cable end into the slot until it locks into position(There is an audible click when the connector is properly seated.) B. Remove SFP+ Modules 1. Pull on the SFP+ latch pull lanyard. 2. Grasp the SFP+ connector on both sides and remove it from the system. 3. If possible, replace the ESD protective cap or put the SFP+ into an ESD protected bag. Safety Information Notice: 1.
