This cable is designed as a more cost-effective and lower power alternative to optical cable assemblies for short length interconnects between active network equipment in data center and enterprise networking applications. The 10G SFP+ cables assemblies are constructed using premium 24 AWG, 100-ohm cable and feature SFP+ SFF-8431 standards based connectors with quick release pull-latches.At a physical layer (PHY) device level, 10GBase-T power consumption, whether at full 100-meter reach or 30-meter short reach mode, will be higher than SFP+ Direct Attach, including the electronic-dispersion-compensation chip. A 10GBase-T PHY, at the device level, can consume anything from two to four Watts per port compared to two Watts per port for SFP+ Direct Attach.
For Cisco 10GbE SFP+ Cable (Direct Attach Copper) 1M - Black were developed specifically as a cost-effective and lower-power alternative to optical modules for short reach links in high-speed interconnect applications such as high performance computing (HPC),enterprise networking including top-of-rack switching and network storage markets. The assemblies support data transfer rates up to 10+ Gb/s per lane, meeting or exceeding current standards specifications.These SFP+ fully-shielded assemblies combine twin-axial shielded cable figuration with robust die cast housings for enhanced support of high frequency data rates.These SFP+ assemblies are impedance matched to ensureinteroperability and minimize EMI leakage through their fully-shielded design.
