This Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is intended for establishing short 10 Gigabit connections between network equipment in data center and backbone environments. The cable is fitted with SFP+ connectors on both sides and uses a passive Twinax copper connection (AWG 30). The integrated SFP+ modules are programmed for HPE / Hewlett Packard compatibility and provide direct electrical coupling without separate transceivers. The cable is SFP+ MSA compliant and suitable for high data rates within short-distance rack connections.
