Extended Reach 10Gig
SFP+ Direct Attach Active
Copper Cable Assemblies
Low Power, Low Latency 10 Gb/s Server Interconnect Solution
As virtualization, consolidation, and convergence initiatives continue to grow, so do the demands
placed on the physical infrastructure. To meet the needs for faster processing speeds, low power
server inter-connect and I/O consolidation deployments, Panduit offers 10Gig SFP+ Direct Attach
Active Copper Cable Assemblies.
These active SFP+ copper cable assemblies contain low power circuitry in the connector to boost the signal
and are driven from the port without additional power requirements. They provide a low cost alternative to optical
transceivers, and are generally used for end of row or middle of row data center architectures for interconnect distances
of up to 10 meters (33 feet).
End-to-end High Speed Data Transport (HSDT) solutions from Panduit deliver enhanced availability, agility, and security.
Visit www.panduit.com/hsdt to learn more about how these solutions help customers manage risk across their physical infrastructure.
