Twinaxial copper cables
The NetBackup 5240 Appliance communicates with Ethernet networks that run the
iSCSI protocol through high speed Twinaxial copper cables. If you configure the
appliance to communicate with 10 Gb Ethernet iSCSI networks, these cables
connect to the iSCSI card in the appliance.
These cables are also known as Direct-Access copper cables, and are available
in 1-meter, 3-meter, or 5-meter lengths.
