SFP+ direct attach copper cable assembly is a high speed, cost-effective alternative to fiber optics in 10Gb Ethernet, 8Gb Fiber Channel and InfiniBand applications. SFP+ copper cable assemblies enable hardware OEMs and data center operators to achieve high port density and configurability at a low cost and reduced power requirement. SFP+ copper assemblies meet the industry MSA for signal integrity performance.
SFP+ Active Copper Cable design has a signal amplification and a class 10G Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) or Equalizer technology to support longer distances than standard passive SFP+ DAC cables.
