The 10G SFP+ to XFP Active Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable is a high-performance copper interconnect solution designed for short-to-medium reach 10Gbps networking applications. It enables direct connectivity between SFP+ and XFP ports without the need for optical transceivers, offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative for data center and enterprise network deployments.

Built with high-quality 24AWG copper conductors and integrated active signal conditioning, this cable ensures stable transmission over longer distances compared to passive DAC solutions. It is widely used in switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections where reliable 10G performance and simplified cabling are required.

Q1: What is the difference between active and passive DAC cables?
A: Active DAC cables include signal conditioning components that improve transmission distance and signal integrity compared to passive DAC cables.

Q2: Why use SFP+ to XFP conversion cables?
A: They enable connectivity between different form factors without requiring additional optical transceivers or adapters.

Q3: Is this cable suitable for 10-meter transmission?
A: Yes, the active design supports stable transmission up to 10 meters depending on equipment compatibility.

Q4: Does this cable require external power?
A: No external power is needed; it is powered through the host port.

Q5: What are the main advantages over optical solutions?
A: Lower cost, lower power consumption, and reduced latency for short-distance 10G connections.
