AddOn Extreme Networks Compatible 10GBASE-CU SFP+ DAC 10304-2M-AO

Keep 10 GbE links efficient with a direct attach copper cable built for SFP+ connectivity. This 10GBASE-CU solution is a strong fit for short runs inside the rack or between nearby network devices, where a passive copper path can deliver the performance you need without the expense and power draw of optics. For teams standardizing on compact, repeatable infrastructure, DAC is often the cleanest way to connect switches, servers, and appliances at 10 GbE speeds. The TAA-compliant designation matters in procurement environments that require sourcing alignment for government, education, and regulated enterprise programs. It gives buyers a straightforward path to meet policy requirements while keeping the network design simple. AddOn compatibility also makes this cable a practical alternative when you need dependable interconnects without paying premium pricing for branded accessories. Use it where short-reach performance, budget discipline, and compliance all matter. In dense racks, the value is not just the cable itself — it is the reduced complexity across power, airflow, and cable management.
