Key Features
- High-Speed Uplink: Optimised for 10Gbps performance, ensuring maximum throughput for demanding network environments.
- Plug-and-Play Integration: Factory-terminated SFP+ ends eliminate the need for separate transceivers and fibre patch cables, simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure.
- Superior Signal Integrity: Being an active optical cable, it offers better signal integrity and lower latency compared to traditional passive copper direct-attach cables (DAC) over similar distances.
- Optimised for Distance: Built using OM3 multi-mode fibre, it is specifically engineered for high-bandwidth, short-to-medium-range inter-rack and intra-rack connections.
- Energy Efficient: Designed for low power consumption, making it an ideal choice for high-density server deployments and enterprise data centres.
