Maintain high-speed connectivity between adjacent racks without adding the cost and complexity of optics and separate fiber patching. This AddOn Networks DAC-SFP-10GE-7M-AO direct attach cable is designed for Aruba-compatible 10GBASE-CU deployments, giving infrastructure teams a straightforward way to extend 10 GbE links over 7 m while preserving a clean, low-profile cable path. For data center teams, the value is in the details: fewer components to source, fewer points of failure, and a cable assembly purpose-built for short-reach switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections. The SFP+ interface aligns with common 10 GbE hardware, while the TAA-compliant designation supports public sector and regulated procurement requirements. Choose this cable when you need dependable short-range throughput and a simpler bill of materials than optical alternatives. It is a practical fit for dense racks, top-of-rack switching, and environments where cable management, compatibility, and sourcing compliance matter as much as raw link speed.
