Dell EMC DAC-SFP-10G-2M Compatible 10 GbE Cable - 2m - StarTech.com (DACSFP10G2M)

This is a high-performance, low-latency 10 Gbps direct-attach copper (DAC) cable designed for use in data center and networking environments. It is specifically compatible with Dell EMC switches and routers, as well as other MSA-compliant devices from brands like Ubiquiti, D-Link, Netgear, and Supermicro. The cable provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for short-distance 10GbE connections, such as in-rack server or switch links.

The cable is 2 meters long and features a passive Twinax copper design with SFP+ pluggable connectors. It supports a data transfer rate of 10 Gbps and is built with 30 AWG wire gauge and a PVC jacket for durability. The cable is hot-swappable, allowing for easy installation and replacement without disrupting network operations. It also meets MSA industry standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment.

This cable is ideal for use in environments where high-speed connectivity is required but fiber optics are not necessary. It is particularly useful for connecting servers, switches, and routers within the same rack or in close proximity. The low power consumption and minimal latency make it suitable for applications that demand consistent performance without the complexity of fiber-based solutions.

The cable comes with a lifetime warranty and free multilingual technical support from StarTech. It is designed to be user-friendly, with no complicated setup required beyond plugging it into compatible SFP+ ports. However, it is important to note that this cable is not suitable for long-distance applications or environments where fiber optics would be more appropriate.
