Add-On DAC-SFP-10G-1M-AO 10Gbps SFP+ DAC Cable

Overview

The Add-On DAC-SFP-10G-1M-AO is a 1-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It terminates in SFP+ connectors on both ends, enabling direct, short-reach data center interconnects between switches, servers, or network interface cards. This cable is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and regulated environments where sourcing restrictions apply. It eliminates the need for transceivers and fiber optic cabling for links up to 1 meter, reducing cost and power consumption.

Compatibility

This DAC cable is compatible with any networking device featuring standard SFP+ ports, including Dell switches, servers, and network adapters that support 10GBASE-CU (Copper) connections. It is designed to be a direct replacement for Dell's SFP-10G-1M DAC cable, ensuring seamless integration into existing Dell infrastructure. It functions across various switch models and network interface cards requiring a 10Gbps SFP+ connection.

Installation Notes

The SFP+ connectors feature a pull tab for secure insertion and removal. Ensure the port is clean before insertion. The cable is passive, requiring no external power. For optimal performance and to prevent accidental disconnection, ensure the connectors are fully seated and the pull tabs are engaged.
