Add-On ADD-SHPSIB-PDAC5M 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On ADD-SHPSIB-PDAC5M is a TAA-compliant 10GBASE-CU SFP+ to SFP+ direct attach cable. This passive copper cable is designed to provide a cost-effective, low-power solution for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity within racks or between adjacent racks. It directly connects two SFP+ ports, eliminating the need for transceivers and fiber optic cabling in environments requiring high-speed, short-distance data transfer. This cable is specifically engineered for compatibility with HP J9283B and IBM 90Y9433 equipment, ensuring seamless integration into existing network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This direct attach cable is designed for interoperability with network devices featuring SFP+ ports. It is explicitly compatible with HP J9283B and IBM 90Y9433 equipment, providing a direct link between these specified components. It functions as a passive cable, requiring no power from the host device beyond the standard SFP+ port power draw. Verify your specific switch or server model supports SFP+ DAC connections if not explicitly listed.

Installation Notes

The ADD-SHPSIB-PDAC5M is a plug-and-play device. Simply insert the SFP+ connectors into the corresponding SFP+ ports on your network equipment. Ensure the ports are clean and free of debris before insertion. The passive nature of the cable means no configuration is required on the cable itself. Its short length is ideal for in-rack or adjacent-rack connections, minimizing cable clutter and signal degradation.
