Keep short-range 10 GbE links clean, simple, and cost-controlled with this AddOn Networks direct attach cable. Designed as an IBM 45W2398 compatible, TAA-compliant 10GBASE-CU SFP+ to SFP+ assembly, it is built for dense rack environments where speed, signal integrity, and procurement compliance all matter. Direct attach copper removes the need for separate optical transceivers on both ends, which helps reduce bill of materials, power consumption, and points of failure. That makes it a practical choice for top-of-rack switching, server uplinks, and storage interconnects where runs stay within DAC distance limits and predictable performance is more important than long-haul reach. For infrastructure teams standardizing on SFP+ at 10 GbE, this cable offers a straightforward path to fast deployment. The TAA-compliant designation supports public sector and regulated purchasing requirements, while the compatible design helps preserve interoperability in mixed-vendor environments. When you need dependable short-reach connectivity without paying for optics you do not need, this DAC cable fits the job.
