  • 1.  10 gig SPF+ cobber

    Posted Jul 07, 2016 04:26 AM

    ... is somehow only possible with "DAC"-cables...

    But if I want to connect a 10 Gig RJ45 device - how to do so? Can I cut the DAC in two and mount a RJ45 on one end instead?

    If so - anyone got the pinout?

    Regards, Lars.

    Do you mean copper with "cobber"?

    I'm quite sure you can't manually "transform" one 10G SFP+ Copper DAC terminated cable's end into a RJ45 cable's end.

    You must provide SFP+ enabled devices to both ends of the 10G SFP+ Copper DAC terminated cable you have or, in the worst case (in terms of both complexity and DAC device-to-device performance degradation you're going to add), look for something like a 10G SFP+ copper <--> 10G RJ45 external Media Converter (like this one).
