Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

Description

10Gtek CAB-10GSFP-P0.5M 10G SFP+ Passive DAC Cable 0.5m

The 10Gtek CAB-10GSFP-P0.5M is a 0.5 metre 10G SFP+ to SFP+ passive direct attach copper (DAC) cable, with a fixed SFP+ connector moulded onto each end of a twinax copper cable. It links two SFP+ ports directly for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, with no separate optics or patch leads. It is inspected by our team in Melbourne before it is listed and is backed by a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT.

Key Benefits

  • 10 Gigabit Ethernet. 10GBASE-CU between two SFP+ ports.
  • 0.5m length. Sized for links within a rack or to the next rack.
  • Passive copper. No electronics in the cable to power or configure.
  • Fixed SFP+ ends. No transceivers to buy for either end of the link.
  • Hot-pluggable. Plug it into, or out of, a live SFP+ port.

Performance in Use

A passive DAC is the simplest way to join two SFP+ ports that sit close together: a switch to a server, a switch to a storage array, or two switches stacked in the same rack. Because the connectors are part of the cable, there are no optics to match and no fibre to clean, and the link runs at full 10Gb/s. At 0.5m, this cable suits short runs; for longer distances, use SFP+ optics and fibre instead.
