Axiom 10 Gb SFP+ Passive DAC
The Axiom J9286B-AX is a 10 Gb SFP+ direct-attach copper cable built for short-reach links between switches, servers or storage arrays. It targets network engineers and system integrators who need a low-latency, cost-effective interconnect for 10 Gigabit Ethernet or compatible SAS environments.
Passive twinax behaviour on long runs
As a passive twinax assembly the cable draws no power and adds no active components to the signal path. At the full 33 ft (10 m) length insertion loss is higher than on shorter passive DACs, so sustained throughput depends on the host ports’ equalisation capability and the overall link budget.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Verify that both ends accept SFP+ passive copper modules and that the port firmware supports third-party DACs; some vendors lock ports to branded optics. Confirm the switch or HBA can negotiate 10 Gb speeds over a 10 m passive reach and that the physical SFP+ cages are not blocked by adjacent modules or chassis rails.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the Axiom J9286B-AX passive twinax cable generate when running continuously?
The passive design uses no active electronics, so the cable itself produces no measurable heat during all-day operation.
Which SFP+ ports must my equipment provide for this 33 ft direct attach cable to function?
You need two SFP+ network ports — one at each end — that accept a passive twinax cable with SFP+ connectors.
Will this cable work with older Aruba 5406 zl switches that only support earlier SFP modules?
The cable is built for Aruba 5406 zl compatibility and plugs into standard SFP+ slots; older SFP-only ports cannot accept the SFP+ form factor.
