The JBX06346 5m 10GBASE-CR SFP+ Active Direct Attach Copper Cable represents a high-performance, cost-effective solution for modern data center and enterprise networking requirements. Engineered to support 10GB data rates, this active DAC cable combines reliability with affordability, eliminating the need for expensive optical transceivers while maintaining superior signal quality. **Key Features:** This cable utilizes premium 30AWG Twinax copper construction with plastic jacketing to ensure durability and electromagnetic shielding. The active circuitry compensates for signal degradation, allowing reliable transmission over the full 5-meter length. Dual SFP+ copper connectors provide secure, low-insertion-force connections compatible with Extreme Networks switches and other standards-compliant equipment. **Technical Specifications:** Qualified to IEEE 802.3ae and IEEE 802.3aq (10GBASE-T) standards, the cable supports SFF-8431 and SFF-8472 protocols. Operating temperature range of 0-70°C (32-158°F) accommodates diverse deployment environments. The cable meets rigorous RoHS/ELV compliance (EU Directive 2002/95/EC) and carries TUV and UL safety certifications. **Applications & Compatibility:** Perfect for connecting switches, servers, and network appliances in high-speed environments, this DAC replaces OEM part numbers 10G-DACA-SFP5M and 10G-SFP-TWX-0501. It's particularly valuable for cost-conscious IT managers seeking reliable 10GB connectivity without optical transceiver expenses. **Advantages:** Active DAC technology provides superior signal integrity compared to passive cables, lower latency than optical solutions, and significantly reduced total cost of ownership. Custom brand programming is available for enterprise deployments. **Warranty & Support:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and shipped from multiple U.S. locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC), ensuring rapid delivery. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99.
