AddOn AA1403018-E6-AO

10M 10GBASE-CU Active Twinax Copper Cable for Nortel DAC SFP+/SFP+

The AddOn AA1403018-E6-AO is a 10‑meter Active Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Twinax cable designed for short to mid-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Intended as a cost-effective solution compared to optical transceivers, this cable is fully compatible with Nortel systems and delivers reliable high-speed performance.

With its active design, this DAC cable supports longer distances than passive Twinax cables, ensuring stable data transmission up to 10 meters. Hot-swappable SFP+ modules attached at both ends make it easy to deploy between switches, storage systems, or servers in enterprise data centers. Backed by AddOn quality assurance, this cable provides guaranteed interoperability with OEM hardware while reducing cost.

Features :

The AA1403018-E6-AO combines the reliability of copper cabling with embedded electronics for extended reach. Supporting up to 10Gbps of bandwidth, this plug-and-play solution is optimized for high-density network architectures, including Top-of-Rack (ToR) and End-of-Row (EoR) deployments. Its active circuitry ensures strong signal integrity, making it ideal for enterprises seeking sustained performance over longer-than-passive DAC distances.

Advanced Options :

This cable is compliant with SFP+ MSA standards and 10GBASE-CU specifications, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard switches, routers, and storage systems. Its flexible design simplifies cable management within racks, while its energy-efficient nature makes it a more sustainable choice compared to optical modules.
