Add-On SFP-TWNACT-1M-AO 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On SFP-TWNACT-1M-AO is a 1-meter, TAA-compliant 10GBASE-CU SFP+ direct attach copper cable. This cable is designed for high-density, short-reach applications within racks or between adjacent racks, providing a cost-effective alternative to fiber optics for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It's ideal for connecting network switches, servers, and storage devices where high bandwidth and low latency are critical, such as in data centers or enterprise network closets. The SFP-TWNACT-1M-AO model ensures compliance with TAA regulations, making it suitable for government and certain enterprise deployments.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any networking equipment featuring standard SFP+ ports, including switches, routers, network interface cards (NICs), and storage devices from major manufacturers that support 10GBASE-CU standards. It functions as a direct replacement for the EMC SFP-TWNACT-1M, offering identical performance and form factor for seamless integration into existing infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The SFP+ transceivers at each end of the cable plug directly into the SFP+ ports on your equipment. Ensure the ports are clean and free of debris. The cable requires no external power source and is hot-pluggable, meaning you can connect or disconnect it while the equipment is powered on without interrupting network traffic on other ports. The copper construction offers a low-latency, high-bandwidth connection ideal for short distances, typically up to 10 meters for 10Gbps speeds, though performance can vary based on cable quality and environmental factors.
