10GbE SFP+ DAC Direct Attach Cable, 0.5M

EDIMAX EA1-005D

EDIMAX EA1 Series SFP+ Direct Attached Cable (DAC) assembly with 2 SFP+ connectors at both ends offers high-performance, cost-effective solutions for 10G Ethernet and 10G Fiber channel applications to achieve high port density. It is suitable for very short distances to connect within racks and adjacent racks to fill the expanding need for cost effective interconnects.

Fully complies with MSA standards, the EA1 Series is backward compatible to SFP (1Gbps). It allows transmission at their maximum speed of up to 10Gbps and provides cost-effective, durable and flexible solution than a fiber cable. Furthermore, allowing shorterdistance, high-density connections made between networking equipments with SFP+ ports.

Cost Effective High-Bandwidth | 10GbE SFP+ Copper Connection

The EA1 series 10G SFP+ DAC is a copper cable designed with SFP+ connectors on both ends and is less expensive than a 10G optical transceiver that support connections of up to 10Gbps data transmission rate - much faster than SFP which only supports 2.5 Gbps, while having lower latency and power consumption. The 10G SFP+ DAC cabling saves on connected devices, eliminating the need for patch panels. Servers and network equipment can be directly connected to ToR (Top-of-Rack) switches, which also directly saves on costs.

High Performance and Reliability | Compatible with SFP+ MSA

The SFP+ 10G DAC cable is compliant with the current SFF-8431, SFF-8432 and SFP+ MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications and is compatible with EDIMAX and other brand products with standard SFP+/SFP ports, offering you an array of options with top performance and reliability.

Wide Compatibility | Backward Compatible to SFP (1Gbps)

The EA1 Series is backward compatible with the SFP (1Gbps). It allows transmission at their maximum speed of 10Gbps and provides a more cost-effective, durable and flexible solution than a fiber cable. Offering shorter-distance, high-density connections between networking equipments such as network switch, server, Network Attached Storage (NAS), storage area network, NIC (PCI-E adapter), data center or high-performance computing.

Easy Plug-and-Play | Hot-Pluggable SFP+ Supported

Equipped with plug-and-play Hot-Pluggable or said Hot-Swappable SFP+ connectors on both ends. No configuration required, in addition, there is no need to shut down or put the data on hold when support inserting or pulling out the transceivers to avoid network down-time.
