Ethernet SFP+ Passive DAC that comes in either an active cable or passive twin-ax cable

 They may be plugged into SFF-8431 SFP+ Passive DAC compliant ports and are interchangeable with fiber optic transceivers. (Note: some system vendors have designed copper-only or fiber-only SFP+ ports, so be sure to confirm host port capabilities with the active equipment vendor) The Panduit 10Gig SFP+ Passive DAC Cable Assemblies are constructed with high frequency 10 GHz
100 ohm parallel shielded pairs, with two wire pairs in the cable. Panduit uses 30AWG for cables less than 4 meters in length and uses 24AWG for 4 meter and longer cables.The registers in the EEPROM provide a method for the connector to
identify itself as an SFP+ passive copper module to allow the active equipment to operate in the proper mode. Other information contained in the memory reg Panduit10Gig SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable Assemblies are intelligent cables.

 The table below will be updated any time prior compatibility issues are resolved or new compatibility issues are discovered. It should be noted that while most servers are open, compatibility issues can occur with a few CNA server cards (noted below). Additionally some FCoE ports require active copper cables. Panduit SFP+ 10 Gb/s Active and Passive Cable Assemblies are compatible with any switch or server that includes MSA compliant SFP+ ports, unless that product requires active cable assemblies or GLC-SX-MMD​, Compatible Cisco SFP Transceive​r 1000Base-S​X 850nm 550M with DDM requires a proprietary code in the SFP+ Passive DAC assembly.While data center administrators have a number of 10GE interfaces to choose from, including 10GBASE-CX4, SFP+ Fiber, SFP+ Passive DAC for $32.00 , and 10GBASE-T, it is the current generation of 10GBASE-T technology that is driving mass adoption of 10GE. This multi-part article analyzes the key differences between 10GBASE-T and other 10GE physical layer technologies, and the impact of 10GBASE-T’s vailability as a LAN-on-Motherboard (LOM) solution on the Romley generation of servers.
