Direct Attach Copper
All model arrays also support SFP+ Direct Attach, also known as 10GSFP+Cu. This IEEE Standard network topology uses 10Gb Ethernet over twinaxial copper cables that plug directly into SFP sockets. No transceivers are used.
Direct Attach twinaxial can be designed as "Active" or "Passive" cables, and can have a maximum link distance of about 10 meters (33 feet). "Passive" Direct Attach twinaxial cables, of the appropriate length, are supported for use with Nimble Arrays. Active Direct Attach twinaxial cables, regardless of cable length, are not currently supported.
