Frequently Asked Questions
What types of devices can this SFP+ cable connect?
This cable is designed to connect devices with SFP+ ports, primarily 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches, routers, network interface cards (NICs), and storage devices, especially within HPE networking environments.
Is this cable compatible with non-HPE equipment?
While specifically tested for HPE compatibility, this cable also complies with MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) industry standards, meaning it can often be used with other brands of SFP+ enabled equipment, though HPE compatibility is guaranteed.
What is the advantage of a passive Twinax cable over active optical cables?
Passive Twinax cables are more cost-effective and consume less power than active optical cables, making them ideal for short-distance, high-speed connections within a rack or between adjacent racks.
Can this cable be used for distances longer than 1.2 meters?
No, this specific cable is 1.2 meters long. For longer 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections, active Twinax cables or fiber optic solutions with appropriate transceivers would be required.
