The JBX06116 7-meter 10GBASE-CR SFP+ passive direct attach cable represents the ideal solution for organizations seeking reliable, cost-effective high-speed network connectivity. As a passive DAC (Direct Attach Cable), it eliminates the need for expensive active transceivers while maintaining full 10GB performance, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious IT departments and large-scale deployments. CONSTRUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS: This cable features premium 24AWG twinax copper conductors housed in durable plastic jacketing, specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of 10GBASE-CR transmission standards. The robust construction ensures minimal signal degradation and interference, critical for maintaining data integrity in high-frequency networking environments. At 7 meters in length, this cable bridges distances beyond point-to-point connections while remaining short enough to avoid signal loss associated with longer passive cables. COMPLIANCE AND CERTIFICATION: Fully qualified to SFF-8431 specifications and meeting IEEE standards, the JBX06116 delivers enterprise-grade reliability. RoHS and TUV certifications ensure compliance with international environmental and safety regulations, while UL certification validates its quality and reliability for North American installations. The cable operates reliably across temperatures from 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F), accommodating diverse data center climates. APPLICATIONS AND COMPATIBILITY: This Intel-compatible cable is purpose-built for organizations running 10GB infrastructure, including data center switch-to-server connections, storage area networks (SAN), and high-performance computing clusters. The SFP+ to SFP+ connector configuration ensures seamless integration with compatible equipment and provides tool-free, standardized connections. VALUE PROPOSITION: Compared to active SFP+ transceivers, passive DAC cables significantly reduce total cost of ownership while delivering equivalent performance for shorter distances. With free standard shipping on orders over $99 and convenient domestic distribution from Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC, acquiring this cable is both economical and convenient. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for your investment.
