Cables To Go 06140 SFP+ active network ethernet cable 32.81 ft

Data-centre SFP+ active cable

This 32.81 ft SFP+ active copper cable connects switches, servers and storage gear in data-centre and enterprise racks. It uses premium 24AWG or 30AWG, 100 Ohm conductors and SFF-8431 compliant connectors with quick-release pull-latches. The assembly supports up to 10Gb speeds while drawing less power than comparable optical modules. It is a direct-attach alternative for medium-length links between active equipment.

Plug-and-play with latch care

Each end terminates in a standard SFP+ SFF-8431 module that inserts into any compliant cage without tools or drivers. The quick-release pull-latches secure the connection; forcing the cable out without depressing the latch can damage the connector or the port. No firmware configuration is required, but verify that both ports are SFP+ and not legacy SFP to avoid link failures. Route the 33 ft run to avoid sharp bends that could stress the active circuitry inside the connector housing.

Steady 10Gb throughput over distance

Active signal conditioning inside the connectors maintains clean 10Gb transmission across the full 32.81 ft length without the latency or power draw of optical transceivers. The 100 Ohm balanced construction resists crosstalk in dense cable trays, so sustained workloads such as storage replication or cluster heartbeats see consistent error-free performance. Heat generated by the active components remains low, allowing tight bundling alongside other copper runs in the same rack.
