A 16.40 ft twinax direct-attach cable delivering 100 Gbit/s for switch, router and network-device links

  • 100 Gbit/s throughput for high-speed network links
  • 40 ft reach connects rack-mounted switches and routers
  • MSA-compliant design works in multi-vendor environments
  • Pre-coded serialization prevents link-negotiation conflicts
  • Twinax DAC construction delivers low-latency direct attach performance

16.40 ft 100 Gbit/s twinax cable

This Axiom 470-ABPU-AX direct attach cable carries 100 Gbit/s over a 16.40 ft twinax assembly. It is pre-coded for full OEM compatibility and meets multi-sourcing agreement requirements. The cable connects switches, routers and other network devices in high-speed links.

Suits rack-to-rack links needing coded DACs.

The part suits data-centre operators who need a factory-coded 100 Gbit/s DAC for short intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections. Buyers who need longer reach or fibre-based media should look at other cable types.

16.40 ft length decides rack spacing

The fixed 16.40 ft length determines the maximum separation between connected ports. Verify that the cable run between your switch and router fits within this distance before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Axiom 470-ABPU-AX twinax DAC cable and what step is often missed?

Align each connector with the switch or router port and push until the latch clicks, then confirm the link LED lights up; skipping the latch check is the step most often missed.

What maintenance or replacement will the Axiom 470-ABPU-AX cable need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the cable only if physical damage occurs or if a port upgrade demands a different connector type.

What limit appears first on the Axiom 470-ABPU-AX cable during sustained 100 Gbit/s use?

The 16.40 ft length is the primary limit; signal integrity is guaranteed up to this distance at the rated 100 Gbit/s speed.
