Tripp Lite's Small Form Factor Pluggable ( SFP+ ) passive copper cables are a high performance connectivity solution supporting 10Gbps Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. Constructed with 24AWG to 30AWG (depending on length) 100ohm Twinaxial cable Tripp Lite cables exceed the specs on most OEM cables at a fraction of the cost. SFP+ cables were developed as cost effective low power alternatives to fiber optic cables in high speed interconnect applications such as network storage and enterprise networking.See "Features" tab for additional compatibility information. 0.5 m.
