1-metre SFP+ direct-attach cable

The 10Gtek SFP+ DAC is a passive twinax copper cable built for 10 GbE links between switches, routers, servers or NICs. It suits network-attached storage, storage-area networks and high-performance computing clusters that use standard SFP+ ports.

Reinforced connectors and shielded copper

Each end carries a reinforced housing that controls bend angle and protects the gold-plated connector contacts. The high-purity anaerobic copper core with aluminium-foil shielding keeps latency low and signal quality high across the 3.28 ft run.

Passive design limits reach and vendor support

The passive construction works up to the listed 16.4 ft maximum without external power. Compatibility follows the SFF-8431 open EEPROM standard and covers Cisco, Ubiquiti, D-Link, Supermicro, Netgear, Mikrotik and others; it does not support Juniper, HP, H3C, Arista, Dell Force10, Extreme, Mellanox, Allied Telesis or Foundry equipment.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the SFP+ DAC cable support?

The cable supports a 10GbE data rate for 10G SFP+ to SFP+ direct attach connections.

What physical space is required for the 1-metre passive cable?

The cable is 3.28 ft long with AWG30 twinaxial construction and reinforced connector ends for bend control.

How do you install the cable and what step is often missed?

Insert the SFP+ connectors into compatible SFF-8431 ports until they click; the step often missed is verifying the device is not on the incompatible list such as Juniper or HP.
