Reliable, high-speed connectivity with the Intellinet Passive SFP+ 10G DAC Twinax Cable.Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables are becoming a go-to solution in the networking worldand for good reason. The Intellinet passive SFP+ 10G DAC Twinax cable offers a low-latency, energy-efficient, and budget-friendly alternative to fiber optics or traditional RJ45 cabling.Ideal for short-range connectionssuch as Top of Rack (ToR), adjacent rack setups, switch stacking, and links between switches, servers, or storage devicesthis cable is perfect for high-bandwidth structured cabling in data centers.Built with a twinax copper cable and SFP+ connectors on both ends, it provides a direct electrical connection to network equipment, with no need for separate transceivers. Its passive design consumes less than 0.15 watts and produces virtually no heat, allowing for use in environments with temperatures up to 70°C (158°F).Because of its simple internal structure, the DAC cable is more cost-effective than fiber and easier to install. Fewer components mean less complexityand lower costs. Plus, since no cleaning or inspection is required before reuse, it's convenient to keep spare units on hand.Supporting data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbpsjust like Cat6a or Cat7 copper cablesthis DAC cable offers significantly lower latency thanks to its direct signal path. It also supports hot swapping, making network upgrades quick and hassle-free.Note: Passive DAC cables are intended for short-range use and support distances up to 7 meters (23 feet).
