AddOn Networks JW101A-2M-AO 2 m 10G-CU Passive Twinax

Keep short-range Aruba connections direct, predictable, and easy to manage with this 2 m passive twinax DAC from AddOn Networks. Designed for 10G-CU applications, it provides a fixed-length copper link that avoids the cost and power overhead of separate optics and patch cabling for in-rack runs. For infrastructure teams, the value is in simplicity. A passive DAC is well suited to top-of-rack and adjacent-switch deployments where the connection distance is known and the priority is stable throughput with minimal complexity. The 2 m length gives enough reach for common rack layouts while helping preserve a tidy cable path. This cable fits environments where consistency matters more than flexibility: repeatable deployments, standardized switch stacks, and high-density cabinets that need fewer moving parts. Compared with optical alternatives, it can reduce component count and streamline procurement for short interconnects. When the goal is to keep Aruba equipment linked cleanly and efficiently, a passive twinax DAC is a practical choice that earns its place in the rack.
