Broadbe 10G Direct Attach Cable 0.1m

The Broadbe 10G Direct Attach Cable is a high-performance copper interconnect solution engineered for rapid data transmission within professional networking environments. Measuring 0.1 meters in length, this cable is specifically designed to provide stable and efficient 10Gbps connectivity between networking hardware such as switches, routers, and servers. By utilizing a direct attach copper design, it serves as an ideal component for high-density rack-level infrastructure where short-range, reliable data links are essential for maintaining network integrity.

Advantages

This direct attach cable offers significant benefits for data center operations by providing a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for short-reach connections. Its copper-based architecture ensures minimal signal latency and reduced power consumption compared to active fiber solutions, which helps in optimizing the overall energy efficiency of server racks. The compact 0.1-meter length minimizes cable clutter, promoting better airflow and organization within high-density networking cabinets.

Suitable for

• Connecting top-of-rack switches to servers
• Linking adjacent networking equipment in data centers
• High-speed storage area network interconnections
• Short-range 10Gbps Ethernet links

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance networking applications, as its physical properties are optimized exclusively for short-range connections within a single rack or adjacent cabinets. It is also not compatible with equipment that requires optical fiber interfaces without the use of appropriate conversion hardware.

Key specifications

• Data transfer rate: 10Gbps
• Cable length: 0.1 meters
• Interface type: Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
• Application: Short-range networking

How to use

To use the Broadbe 10G Direct Attach Cable, simply insert the connector ends into the SFP+ ports of your compatible networking devices. Ensure that the devices are powered off or that the ports are configured to support the cable before insertion. The cable is a plug-and-play solution, meaning it does not require additional software drivers or complex configuration to establish a 10Gbps link between connected hardware.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking equipment supports SFP+ direct attach copper cables
• Ensure the 0.1-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack layout
• Check the port compatibility of your switches and servers

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance, ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius during installation to prevent signal degradation. Keep the connectors clean and free of dust to maintain a stable 10Gbps connection.
