Today's enterprise data center networks are undergoing an infrastructure transformation, requiring higher speeds, greater scalability, and higher levels of performance & reliability to better meet new business requirements. As speed & performance needs increase, modern copper cables have become an integral part of overall system design. However, copper cable design margins & parameters vary widely, and can be the difference between an optimized, highly reliable network & incompatibility issues that drive up support costs. The Brocade 10 Gbps Direct Attached Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) copper cable is optimized to fully leverage Brocade 10 Gbps solutions. Products supporting these cables include Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCo E)/ Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) switches, Converged Network Adapters (CNAs), and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (Gb E) switches & routers. These cables, also known as Twinax cables, are suitable for in-rack connections between servers & top-of-rack switches. In addition, they provide state-of-the-art performance, helping IT organizations achieve high levels of infrastructure consolidation while expanding application & service capabilities. Features End-to-end compatibility & reliability Brocade 10 Gbps Direct Attached SFP+ copper cables support highly reliable operations in enterprise networks & are optimized for Brocade switching platforms. They undergo rigorous qualification & certification testing to provide an end-to-end solution that is easier to maintain
- helping improve the availability of networks supporting mission-critical applications.
