Direct-attach copper for 10 Gbps links

This passive SFP+ twinax cable connects switches, routers, servers or storage at up to 10 Gbps over a 3 ft run. It draws under 0.15 W and produces no heat, making it suitable for dense racks operating up to 70 °C (158 °F). The MSA-compliant design works with major vendors including Cisco, Ubiquiti and TP-Link.

Passive DAC distance and latency limits

Passive copper is specified for short-reach structured cabling up to 7 m (23 ft), so longer runs need active or optical alternatives. Latency is lower than RJ45 copper links, but the cable cannot extend beyond the passive reach without signal degradation. Deployment is simpler than transceiver-based fibre because there are no separate optics to match.

Replaces fibre optics and RJ45 for short hops

The cable upgrades from fibre patch cords or RJ45 links when the connection stays within the passive distance envelope and the priority is lower power, lower cost and simpler inventory. It is not for links that exceed the 7 m passive limit or for installations that require optical isolation. The jump is worth it when rack density, thermal headroom and cabling expense outweigh the need for longer reach.

Questions about this item

Is the 3 ft length the right choice for my top-of-rack setup?

At 3 ft this passive DAC is well within the 7 m (23 ft) reach specified for short-distance structured cabling such as top-of-rack or adjacent-rack links.

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean once the cable is plugged into my switches?

The cable supports up to 10 Gbps data transfer with lower latency than RJ45 and near-zero power draw of less than 0.15 W, producing no heat even at 70 °C (158 °F) operating temperature.

Will the SFP+ connectors work with my existing switch ports?

The MSA-compliant SFP+ connectors on both ends are designed for compatibility with major switch vendors including Cisco, Ubiquiti, TP-Link, ZyXEL and Intellinet Network Solutions equipment.
