Dell 470-AAVJ

Overview

The Dell 470-AAVJ is a 3-meter direct attach cable designed for 10 GbE connections within racks and network cabinets. It features SFP+ connectors on both ends and uses twinax copper wiring, allowing it to connect directly to compatible network cards and switches without requiring separate transceiver modules. This cable supports data transfer speeds up to 10 gigabits per second, making it well suited for server clustering, virtualization hosts, and top-of-rack switch links where short, efficient connections are needed.

Key features

• SFP+ to SFP+ male connectors enable straightforward device-to-device connections without additional hardware.
• Twinax copper construction reduces signal interference and crosstalk, ensuring clean and reliable data transmission.
• 3-meter length is ideal for short runs within the same rack or between adjacent racks, minimizing cable clutter and improving airflow.
• Hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor allows easy installation and replacement without powering down equipment, reducing downtime.
• Passive copper design lowers power consumption and heat generation, helping data centers maintain efficient operation and thermal control.

Key specs

• Data transfer speed: 10 Gb/s
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+ male
• Cable type: Twinax copper
• Form factor: Hot-pluggable SFP+

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with network devices that support SFP+ ports, including switches and network interface cards designed for 10 GbE connections. Its direct attach design eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules, simplifying setup and reducing overall cost. The 3-meter length fits well in rack environments where devices are closely positioned, making it a practical choice for data centers and enterprise networks.

Performance and reliability

The twinax copper wiring minimizes crosstalk and signal degradation, maintaining stable and high-speed data transfer. Its passive design reduces power draw and heat output compared to optical alternatives, contributing to lower operating costs and improved thermal management. The hot-pluggable connectors support quick maintenance and upgrades without interrupting network operations, enhancing overall reliability.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable works well in data centers and server rooms where short, high-speed connections are required between servers, switches, and storage devices. It is a strong choice for IT professionals managing virtualization environments, clustered servers, or top-of-rack switch setups. The efficient design suits environments focused on energy savings and thermal control while maintaining full 10 GbE performance.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
