SFP+ Direct Attach cables longer than five meters

There are two included video cables with the Wacom, a DVI-to-VGA cable and a DVI-to-DVI cable. On a mac with a mini-display port, you will need a converter cable. The mac supports converting its minidisplay port to either VGA or DVI, but DVI works better. The X2 10G cable output will  provide better calibration, less flicker and tighter alignment of the pixels and screen output. There is a switch on the interface box that must be manually set to DVI or VGA. Make sure it is set correctly for the cable you are using. See the PC section above for a photo of the switch.As a technology, 10GBase-T enables network managers to preserve their knowledge base of Ethernet transport while seamlessly upgrading bandwidth capacity from 1G to 10G rates. Additionally, network managers preserve their underlying investment in the maintenance of standard, structured cabling systems. But SFP+ Direct Attach complete connection Cable is supported only on 10G ports. Do not insert a DAC into a 1G port.The IEEE 802.3an-2006 10GBase-T Ethernet Standard specifies operation over standard, structured twisted-pair copper cable up to 100 meters. In contrast, 10G SFP+ Direct Attach is limited to 10 meters, with a reach of five to seven meters more commonly available. SFP+ Direct Attach cables longer than five meters are exponentially higher cost compared to shorter cables.
