3m (10ft) Dell 332-1368 Compatible 10G SFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Twinax Cable

Dell 332-1368 Compatible 10G SFP+ 3m Passive Direct Attach Copper Twinax Cable

This direct attach copper cable, also known as a twinax or DAC cable, is a lower-cost replacement for the Dell 332-1368. It carries data rates up to 10.5 Gbps, meeting the bandwidth requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-CU), 8G Fibre Channel and 10G Fibre Channel over Ethernet.

The cable is built for short reach links in high-speed interconnects: high-performance computing, top of rack switching, and network storage. It fully complies with the SFP+ Multi-Source Agreement standards SFF-8431, SFF-8432 and SFF-8472. Each cable is made from high-grade components and tested to meet or exceed industry specifications, giving hardware builders and data centre operators high port density at low cost and reduced power draw.

Being passive, it needs no power beyond the host port and adds almost no latency, so it costs less and runs cooler than an SFP+ optical transceiver pair or an active optical cable. At 3 metres it reaches between adjacent racks or across a taller cabinet, where a 1 metre cable would fall short.

Every cable is programmed to work with a wide range of Dell 10G switches, routers, network cards and storage systems, so the port recognises it at plug-in with no extra configuration.
