Direct-Attach Twinax Cable for 10 GbE

This SFP+ direct-attach Twinax cable provides a reliable 10 GbE connection over copper. It is designed for network administrators and data-centre technicians who need a cost-effective link between switches, routers or servers equipped with SFP+ ports. The 2 metre (6.6 ft) length suits typical rack-to-rack or intra-rack deployments.

Passive copper limits reach and power draw

As a passive copper DAC, the cable operates at less than 0.1 W and complies with MSA industry standards. Passive designs are practical for short runs but cannot match the distance of active optical cables; the 2 metre length reflects that constraint. Hot-swappable operation allows insertion or removal alongside fibre optic SFP cables without powering down equipment.

Verify SFP+ port compatibility and DAC support

Before ordering, confirm that your host devices have SFP+ ports that accept passive direct-attach copper cables. Some switches or network cards require active cables or coded modules and will not link with a passive Twinax assembly. Check the vendor’s compatibility matrix to ensure the specific model is qualified for your hardware.
