The JBX06263 2.5m Palo Alto Networks Compatible 10GBASE-CR SFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable represents the optimal choice for organizations seeking reliable, cost-effective high-speed network connectivity. This passive DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable eliminates the need for expensive optical modules while delivering the same 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance required in modern data centers. **Technical Excellence** Built to IEEE 802.3ae and SFF-8431/SFF-8472 specifications, this cable features precision-engineered 30AWG twinax copper conductors with specialized impedance matching. The 2.5-meter length provides optimal reach for short-to-medium distance connections between switches, routers, and storage arrays without signal degradation. The dual copper twisted pair construction minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring pristine data transmission at 10GB line rates. **Palo Alto Networks Compatibility** Designed as a direct replacement for Palo Alto Networks SFP-PLUS-CU-250CM modules, this cable integrates seamlessly into existing Palo Alto Networks infrastructure. Whether you're deploying NextGen firewalls, threat prevention appliances, or network security platforms, this cable delivers the reliability your critical applications demand. **Enterprise-Grade Certifications** Fully RoHS and TUV certified, compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC, and UL listed, this cable meets the most stringent regulatory requirements. These certifications demonstrate our commitment to environmental responsibility and user safety, providing peace of mind for IT professionals managing mission-critical infrastructure. **Operational Reliability** With a 90-day limited warranty and operational range from 0-70°C (32-158°F), this cable performs consistently across diverse deployment scenarios. Passive design eliminates active component failure points, resulting in exceptional longevity and reduced total cost of ownership compared to active optical modules. The durable plastic jacketing withstands harsh data center environments, equipment vibration, and repeated handling. **Cost-Effective Deployment** Compared to SFP+ optical transceivers and DAC cables with active components, passive copper cables like the JBX06263 deliver significant cost savings while maintaining performance. For data center deployments requiring abundant 10GB connectivity, this economy makes a substantial difference to network infrastructure budgets. Includes free standard shipping on qualifying orders, ensuring accessible pricing for enterprise customers. **Ideal Applications** Perfect for connecting Palo Alto Networks security appliances, aggregating server links, SAN interconnects, and building resilient network fabrics. The 2.5-meter length addresses typical rack and small-cabinet configurations, making it essential for modern virtualized environments.
