DCX10 3 Meters SFP+ to SFP+ 10 Gigabit Direct Attach Cable

Link DrayTek VigorSwitches and Vigor routers using SFPThe DAC-CX10 cable is a cost effective interlink cable between switches. routers. servers and storage devices and supports speeds up to 10Gb/s. DrayTek DAC-CX10 SFP cables connect directly to the SFP module port of the devices. such as any DrayTek switch or router which has an SFP or SFP+ port.Key Features: Hot-pluggable Standard SFP / SFP+ Form Factor Compatible with SFP+ MSA specifications Compatible with SFF-8431 & SFF8432 specifications Power Consumption: Up to 0.2 Watts Operating Voltage: 3.3 Volts (supplied by connected devices) Operating Temperature Range: 0 ° to 70 ° C Operating Humidity: 0 to 85% RH (non-condensing) Storage Temperature: -40 ° to 85 ° C A Direct Attach Cable or DAC connects SFP module ports on two devices similarly to an RJ-45 network cable. instead of using SFP to optical fibre transceivers. or SFP to RJ-45 transceivers. This significantly simplifies the connection process and reduces cost. while still ensuring reliable operation. For instance. if both devices support 10 Gigabit transfer rates through SFP+. instead of using two SFP+ Fibre transceivers and optical fibre. simply connect the DAC-CX10-01M cable between the two for an up to 10Gb/s link. The DAC-CX10 is one piece - there are no removable RJ-45 or fibre cables to be concerned with.The DAC-CX10 support up to 10Gb/s - limited according to the speed supported by the connected devices; for example if one device only supports 1Gb/s. that is the maximum link speed available. If you are connecting between two devices whose SFP ports support 10Gb/s. the bandwidth is significantly higher than if you were to use the regular RJ-45 Ethernet/CAT6 ports - such speed is particularly important in high volume applications such as server or storage device to switch/network.If both connected devices support 'port trunking' you can use two DAC-CX10 cables to increase bandwidth even further. but equally. even on a 1Gb/s SFP port. these cables can be useful to make use of all ports without tying up an RJ-45 port that you need for other purposes.The DAC-CX10 module locks securely into place when fitted into a switch to avoid unintended removal and removed by pulling the tab to unlock it from the SFP module slot.
