Add-On ADD-SCISHPD-PDAC2M 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On ADD-SCISHPD-PDAC2M is a 2-meter, TAA-compliant direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed to bridge connectivity between Cisco-compatible SFP+ ports and HP SFP+ ports. This cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber optic cabling for short-reach interconnections, making it ideal for rack-to-rack or switch-to-server links within a data center or network closet. Its passive design means no power is required, simplifying deployment and reducing potential points of failure. The ADD-SCISHPD-PDAC2M ensures reliable 10Gbps data transfer for critical network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to be compatible with equipment featuring SFP+ ports that adhere to industry standards, specifically targeting interoperability between Cisco and HP networking hardware. It functions as a direct replacement for Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU2M and HP J9282D, providing a reliable link for switches, servers, and storage devices equipped with SFP+ interfaces from these manufacturers. Always verify your specific equipment's SFP+ port compatibility with third-party DAC cables if not using native vendor components.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward: simply plug the SFP+ ends into the corresponding SFP+ ports on your network devices. Ensure the ports are clean and free of debris. The cable is designed for passive operation, requiring no configuration or power source. For optimal performance and signal integrity, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable.
