Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary benefit of using a Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable over fiber optics?
DAC cables like the JD095CST offer a more cost-effective and lower-power solution for short-distance 10GbE connections, typically within a single rack or between adjacent racks. They provide comparable performance to fiber for these specific use cases.
Is this cable compatible with non-HPE SFP+ ports?
While specifically tested for HPE JD095C compatibility, this cable also complies with MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) industry standards. This means it is generally compatible with other brands of SFP+ switches and network cards that adhere to MSA specifications.
What is the maximum distance this .65M SFP+ DAC cable can reliably support?
This specific cable is designed for optimal performance over .65 meters (approximately 2.1 feet). For longer 10GbE connections, especially beyond 5-7 meters, fiber optic solutions are typically recommended.
Does this passive SFP+ DAC cable require external power?
No, as a passive direct-attach copper cable, the JD095CST does not require any external power supply. It draws minimal power directly from the SFP+ port, contributing to lower energy consumption in your network infrastructure.
