Description
PDR SFP-10G-DAC-PXM is a hot-swappable direct attach copper cable assembly (also known as Twinax Cable or DAC) with SFP+ modules at both ends. It is developed specifically as a cost-effective and lower-power alternative to SFP+ optical modules and Active Optical Cables. SFP-10G-DAC-PXM is a passive DAC cable and there is no signal conditioning circuitry in the SFP+ module.

The DAC cable fully complies with SFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards SFF-8431, SFF-8432, and SFF- 8472. It is designed for short reach links in 10Gbps high-speed interconnect applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise networking including top-of-rack switching and network storage servers.
