  • Length1.64 ft.
  • 10 Gbps throughput with passive 30 AWG twinax
  • 64 ft length keeps rack links tidy
  • SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432 compliant for broad switch support
  • Operates from 32 to 158 °F in data-centre environments
  • 100 % compatible with Cisco, Ubiquiti, Juniper and more

Direct-attach copper link

This 0.5 metre SFP+ twinax cable provides a passive 10 Gbps connection between switches, routers, servers or NICs that have SFP+ ports. It is built for short-reach links inside racks or between adjacent cabinets in data-centre and storage-area-network environments. The 30 AWG conductors and PVC jacket meet SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432 compliance for reliable signal integrity.

Plug-and-play rack cabling

Each end carries a factory-programmed SFP+ module that inserts directly into the cage without tools or separate transceivers. Passive design means no external power is needed, but the 0.5 metre reach limits use to equipment within the same rack or immediate neighbours. Bending the cable tighter than the jacket allows can degrade the high-speed pairs, so maintain a gentle radius during routing.

Half-metre reach constraint

The 1.64 ft length is the decisive specification; it only suits device pairs separated by half a metre or less. Builders needing longer runs between rows or across a room must choose an active optical or longer copper assembly instead.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 10Gbps link is active after connecting the SFP+ ends?

Check the switch or NIC status LEDs and run a 10Gbps throughput test; the passive 30AWG twinax is rated for 10GbE and compliant with SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432.

What comes in the box and is anything else required?

The cable ships in an antistatic bag with SFP+ connectors on both ends; no separate transceivers or power adapters are needed for a direct 0.5m copper link.

Which length and AWG version should I choose for a short rack connection?

The 0.5m (1.64 ft) 30AWG passive twinax is designed for short-reach 10GbE links up to 70°C and fits standard SFP+ ports on Cisco, Ubiquiti, and other listed brands.
