10Gbps DAC Twinax SFP Cable for Cisco, Ubiquiti, Huawei, Netgear, & Supermicro Devices

Cable Matters, headquartered in Southborough, Massachusetts, offers a comprehensive range of cables, adapters, docking stations, and networking products for home, office, and data center use. The company provides first-class, quality, and affordable products backed by an exceptional customer experience.

One of their offerings is the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Direct Attach Cable. This Cable Matters 10Gb SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Twinax Cable is designed to meet the extreme demands of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel, and 10 Gigabit InfiniBand networks. It is engineered for maximum equipment compatibility, adhering to the SFF-8431, SFF-8432, and SFF-8472 specifications.

The copper cable provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing expensive fiber optic transceivers and cables for distances up to 7 meters. It is compatible with MSA-compliant equipment with open-source EEPROM and works with Cisco, Ubiquiti, D-Link, Huawei, Netgear, and Supermicro equipment. However, it is not compatible with Dell Networking, Juniper, Mellanox, HP, H3C, Arista, Dell Force10, Extreme, F5 Networks, or Mikrotik equipment.

The cable is backward compatible with 2.5G and 1G SFP or SFP+ ports on Cisco equipment only, but not with other 1G or 2.5G ports. It is recommended to use anti-static protection when connecting or removing the cable.

The SFP+ cable offers several advantages over Cat6A cables, including superior EMI performance, reduced insertion loss and crosstalk, latching connectors, and denser cable shielding. It features a 30 AWG wire in a CL2 in-wall rated cable jacket and is hot-pluggable to avoid network interruption.

The cable's design includes a die-cast metal connector housing, a pull-to-release latch, and molded strain relief, providing a feature-filled and durable solution.

In addition to the SFP+ Passive DAC Copper Cable, Cable Matters offers other compatible products, such as the QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ Passive DAC Copper Breakout Cable, the SFP+ to RJ45 Module, and the SFP to RJ45 Transceiver.

These cables and modules cater to a range of networking needs, with data transfer ratings up to 40Gbps (4x 10Gbps) and available lengths from 0.5 meters to 7 meters, depending on the model.

The products have received positive customer reviews, with ratings ranging from 4.2 to 4.9 out of 5 stars, further demonstrating the quality and reliability of Cable Matters' offerings.

In summary, Cable Matters provides a comprehensive line of high-performance, cost-effective networking solutions, including the versatile 10 Gigabit Ethernet Direct Attach Cable, catering to the diverse requirements of home, office, and data center environments.
