10G SFP+ passive copper cable

This one-metre passive DAC cable uses 30 AWG twinax conductors to carry 10 Gbit/s Ethernet, 1/2/4/8 G Fibre Channel and InfiniBand SDR through FDR-10 links. It plugs directly into two SFP+ ports without a separate transceiver. The assembly is hot-pluggable and draws power from the host’s 3.3 V supply. Compliance covers 10GBASE-CR and the SFF-8431/8432 SFP+ MSA specifications.

Network and storage links up to one metre

Suits rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections between switches, routers, servers, storage arrays or firewalls that present SFP+ ports and need a low-latency copper link. Not for runs longer than one metre, for fibre-only ports, or for speeds beyond the 10 Gbit/s Ethernet and 8 G Fibre Channel limits stated in the specifications.

Drops into any SFP+ cage with 3.3 V power

The cable needs two SFP+ cages that implement the SFF-8431/8432 MSA and supply a single 3.3 V rail. It frees the two transceiver slots that would otherwise be required for optical modules and their patch cords. No additional cabling, media converters or external power are involved.

Questions about this item

What SFP+ ports must my switch or server already have for this 10GBASE-CR passive DAC to work?

It requires two SFP+ cages that accept SFF-8431/8432 MSA modules and run on a single 3.3 V supply.

Will the 1-meter link distance limit connections to older 1G or 2G Fibre Channel gear I keep?

No, the cable supports 1G through 8G Fibre Channel and the 1 m reach covers typical rack adjacency for those speeds.

How can I verify the 10G SFP+ DAC is operating correctly once installed?

Check the host CLI for a recognised 10GBASE-CR link, active 2-wire management interface and error-free traffic counters.
