Intellinet SFP+ 10G DAC Cable

This passive Direct Attach Copper twinax cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency link for 10 Gbps network connections between switches, routers, servers and storage. It uses two SFP+ connectors and is MSA-compliant for broad compatibility with major switch manufacturers. The 7 ft length suits short-distance structured cabling such as Top of Rack or adjacent rack deployments.

Zero Heat and Low Power Draw

The passive design consumes less than .15 W and produces no heat during operation, allowing use in environments up to 70°C (158°F). This reduces operating expenses compared to active optical cables and eliminates the need for additional cooling. Signal latency is lower than typical RJ45 copper connections, and the AWG 30 twinax construction ensures reliable performance over the full 7 ft span.

Replaces Fiber and RJ45 Links

This cable replaces fiber optic assemblies and RJ45 patch cords in short-reach 10 GbE applications up to 23 ft, cutting component count and simplifying deployment. The jump is worth it when you need lower latency, lower power and lower cost than fiber, or lower latency than twisted pair, without the complexity of matching separate transceivers and patch cables. It is not suited for runs beyond the passive DAC distance limit or for single-mode fiber infrastructures.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SFP+ connectors on the 508414 cable, and what step do people often get wrong?

Insert each SFP+ connector straight into the port until it clicks; the common mistake is pushing at an angle, which can bend the delicate copper pins inside the twinax cable.

What maintenance or replacement will this passive DAC cable need over time?

No firmware or active components exist to maintain; inspect the SFP+ latch and cable jacket periodically, and replace the cable only if physical damage or link errors appear.

What is the first limit that appears when this cable runs at 10 Gbps under sustained load?

The 7 ft length reaches the passive DAC distance ceiling, so signal integrity degrades before heat or power becomes an issue.
