AddOn SFP-H25G-CU3M-AO 9.8m 25GBase Twinaxial SFP28 Network Cable

Network upgrades can stall when you need a reliable, high-speed link between switches but the existing cabling won’t cope. The AddOn SFP-H25G-CU3M-AO 9.8m 25GBase Twinaxial SFP28 Network Cable is a passive copper direct-attach cable that connects two SFP28 ports up to 9.8 m (10 ft) apart, delivering full 25 Gbps performance without the hassle of separate transceivers.

Usages of a 9.8m direct attach cable

Ideal for data-centre racks, server farms or high-performance computing clusters, this cable lets you link SFP28-equipped devices such as switches, routers or storage arrays within a short distance, keeping latency low and bandwidth high for demanding applications.

Benefits of AddOn direct attach cable

• Plug-and-play simplicity: No extra modules required, just connect the two ends and you’re ready to go.
• Cost-effective: A single cable replaces two transceivers and a fibre run, saving you money.
• Reliable performance: Fully tested for 100 % compliance with Cisco SFP-H25G-CU3M specifications.
• Lifetime support: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty for peace of mind.
• TAA compliance: Meets Trade Agreements Act standards for government and commercial use.

AddOn Direct Attach Cable

Choosing this cable means you avoid the expense and complexity of active optical solutions while still achieving the full 25 Gbps speed required by modern networks.
