The JBX06303 3-meter Brocade-compatible 10GBASE-CR SFP+ active direct attach copper cable represents an exceptional choice for organizations requiring dependable high-speed network connectivity. This advanced networking component combines proven direct attach copper technology with active signal conditioning, making it ideal for interconnecting switches, routers, and network interface cards in data centers and enterprise environments. Key Technical Specifications: This cable features 30AWG twinax copper construction enclosed in protective plastic jacketing, providing both durability and optimal signal integrity. With a compact 3-meter length (approximately 10 feet), it's perfectly suited for short-range connections typical in server-to-switch or switch-to-switch applications. The SFP+ to SFP+ connector configuration ensures universal compatibility across multiple networking platforms, particularly Brocade systems. Performance & Compliance: Qualified to IEEE 802.3ae specifications and SFF-8431/SFF-8472 standards, the JBX06303 delivers consistent 10GB data rates with minimal latency and signal degradation. It meets stringent RoHS (EU directive 2002/95/EC) and ELV compliance requirements, ensuring environmental responsibility without compromising performance. Safety certifications include TUV and UL verification, guaranteeing reliable operation in professional settings. Active DAC Advantages: Unlike passive cables, active direct attach copper technology includes integrated signal conditioning circuitry, extending reliable transmission distances and improving signal quality across demanding network infrastructures. This makes active DACs ideal for longer cable runs or environments with electromagnetic interference. Operational Range: Designed for operating temperatures between 0-70°C (32-158°F), this cable maintains performance across diverse installation environments. The rugged copper construction withstands multiple connections and disconnections, making it suitable for both permanent installations and frequently reconfigured network setups. Replacement & Compatibility: Directly replaces OEM part number 10G-SFPP-TWX-0301 for Brocade systems, simplifying upgrades and replacements. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Includes a 90-day limited warranty and custom brand programming options for enterprise deployments requiring standardized equipment identification.
