Product Highlights
Better Performance
High speeds and lower latency result in faster
transmissions than other types of cables
Cost-eective Solution
SFP+ connectors on cable mean no need for
expensive SFP+ transceivers and bre cables
Energy Eciency
Lower power consumption compared to other 10G
cables such as 10GBASE-T or 10GBASE-CX4, meaning
savings on energy usage and costs
DEM-CB100S and DEM-CB300S
10G Passive SFP+ Twinaxial Direct Attach Cables
Features
Connectivity
• SFP+ (Enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Two dierent models
• DEM-CB100S: 1 metre
• DEM-CB300S: 3 metres
• Fully Compliant with the following standards:
• SFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement)
• SFF-8431
• EIA 364
• UL 94
These 10G Passive SFP+ Twinaxial Direct Attach Cables are designed to support connections for
10 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet switches with 10 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet
uplink, much more faster than SFP which only supports 2.5 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet. With
two cable models including the DEM-CB100S and DEM-CB300S, these cables are suitable
for short distances up to 3 metres, and is ideal for highly cost-eective networking
connectivity between switches and servers within a rack or in adjacent racks. These
10G Passive SFP+ Twinaxial Direct Attach Cables are certied to be compatible with D-Link
products to provide you best performance and reliability.
Ideal for High-Bandwidth Operations
These D-Link 10G Passive SFP+ Twinaxial Direct Attach Cables support speeds of up to 10
Gbps, while having lower latency and power consumption than other cables types such as
10GBASE-CX4 and CAT6/CAT6A 10GBASE-T. This makes it an optimal solution for handling
high bandwidth transmission within short distances such as inside energy-ecient data
centres.
Enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable Format
These D-Link 10G Passive SFP+ Twinaxial Direct Attach Cables use Enhanced Small Formfactor Pluggable format (SFP+) connectors. The SFP+ form factor is smaller than other form
factors such as Xenpak, X2, and 10G XFP, resulting in lower c osts, lower pow er disruption, and
higher port density. Meanwhile SFP+ connectors use the same space-per-port as standard
SFP connectors but support higher data transmission speeds.
Save on Costs
These D-Link 10G Passive SFP+ Twinaxial Direct Attach Cables feature SFP+ connectors on
both ends, thus eliminating the need for expensive SFP+ transceivers. This makes it more
cost-eective than bre cables which must use SFP+ transceivers.
