Add-On SFP-10G-C-1M-AO 1M Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On SFP-10G-C-1M-AO is a 1-meter direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed 10Gbps network connections. It provides a cost-effective, low-power alternative to fiber optic transceivers for short-reach applications within racks or adjacent racks. This cable is ideal for connecting network switches, servers, and storage devices where a direct, passive connection is required, ensuring reliable data transfer at 10.3125 Gbps. The SFP-10G-C-1M-AO is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and enterprise deployments.

Compatibility

This SFP+ DAC cable is compatible with any network device featuring an SFP+ port. It is designed to meet specifications for Alcatel equipment but functions as a generic SFP+ DAC cable in any SFP+ slot, including those found in Cisco, Juniper, HP, Dell, Arista, and other enterprise-grade network hardware. The 30AWG wire gauge ensures flexibility and durability for typical data center environments.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a standard 0 to 70 °C ambient temperature range, suitable for most climate-controlled environments. It requires a 3.30 V power supply, which is provided by the host SFP+ port. The minimum bending radius of 25 mm should be observed to prevent damage to the internal conductors. Dust caps are included to protect the connectors when not in use.
