Abi dac cable

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.
