QSFPTEK 10G SFP+ to SFP+ Passive DAC Cable 7M AWG24 2 in 1 accessory
A 7-metre passive SFP+ direct-attach copper cable carrying 10 Gb/s with under 0.5 W draw
- 10 Gb connectivity for switches, routers, servers and NICs with SFP+ ports
- Passive copper twinax design draws under 0.5 W across the link
- Plug-and-play hot-pluggable cable needs no drivers or software to operate
- Gold-plated connectors rated for repeated insertion cycles in daily use
- Seven-metre AWG24 reach suits rack-to-rack and cabinet-to-cabinet deployments
What this cable is and who uses it
This seven-metre passive SFP+ direct-attach copper twinax cable carries ten-gigabit Ethernet between switches, routers, servers or network cards with SFP+ ports. It suits storage-area-network and high-performance-computing links where a short, low-latency copper run is preferred over fibre.
The specification that decides fit
The cable is built to the AWG24 gauge and terminates in gold-plated SFP+ connectors on both ends, so it only fits equipment that accepts that wire thickness and connector type. Buyers needing a different gauge such as AWG26, AWG28 or AWG30, or a longer or shorter reach, must select another variant.
Thermals, noise and power draw
Passive construction means the assembly draws less than .5 watts and generates no fan noise, operating reliably across a commercial temperature range of zero to seventy degrees Celsius. With no active components it adds negligible heat to a rack and requires no external power.

Questions about this item
What throughput can I expect when the 10 Gb SFP+ passive DAC is installed in a live link?
The cable is built for 10 Gb/s operation; actual throughput will match the 10 Gb SFP+ ports on your switch, router, server or NIC.
How does the passive twinax design limit the 7-metre reach compared with an active or optical alternative?
Passive copper is rated for 7 metres at 10 Gb/s; longer runs would need active copper or fibre to maintain signal integrity.
What physical clearance and port spacing does the AWG24 twinax with gold-plated SFP+ plugs require?
The 7-metre AWG24 twinax terminates in standard SFP+ connectors with gold-plated plugs that fit any SFP+ cage; allow enough rack depth for the cable bend radius.
