Direct Attach Cable for 10G SFP+ Links

This StarTech SFP+ direct attach cable provides a 1.6 ft twinax connection between two SFP+ ports. It suits data-centre racks, storage arrays and switches that need a short, low-latency 10 GbE link. The passive copper assembly is a cost-effective alternative to fibre modules for adjacent equipment.

MSA Compliant Passive Copper for Sustained

Built to SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 specifications, the 30 AWG cable maintains 100-ohm impedance across its full length. Because it draws no power and generates minimal heat, it delivers consistent 10 GbE throughput under continuous load without the thermal throttling that can affect active optical cables in dense cabinets.

Check Port Spacing and Switch Compatibility Before

Verify that both ends present standard SFP+ cages with latching mechanism clearance for the 1.60 ft reach. The cable is hot-swappable alongside fibre modules, but the fixed length means rack layout must accommodate the exact 0.5 m distance between connected devices.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 1.6 ft SFP+ direct attach cable draw when it runs continuously?

The passive copper assembly uses no external power; it relies on the host ports for signal transmission and adds negligible load to the power budget.

Which ports must my switches or servers already provide for this SFP10GPC05M cable to work?

Each end requires an SFP+ receptacle that accepts a latching plug and supports the SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 electrical specifications.

Will the 0.5 m cable interoperate with legacy 1 GbE SFP modules still installed in my rack?

The cable is built for 10 GbE SFP+ links; it will not establish a connection when plugged into a 1 GbE-only SFP port.
