Direct Attach Cable 10 Gbit/s

The AddOn DAC-SFP-10G-3M-AO is a passive twinax cable assembly built for 10 Gbit/s links. It carries SFP+ connectors on both ends and spans 9.84 ft. The 30 AWG copper construction is suited for rack-to-rack or switch-to-server connections inside the cabinet.

Suited for short 10G links, not longer runs

This cable fits environments that need a low-latency, low-power 10 Gbit/s interconnect without active optics. It works with network devices that accept SFP+ direct attach copper. Installations requiring greater reach or fibre media should consider other media types.

30 AWG passive copper at 9.84 ft

The 30 AWG gauge and passive design set the practical distance limit for 10 Gbit/s operation. Verify that the link length matches the 9.84 ft specification before deployment. Longer distances will require active or optical alternatives.

Questions about this item

What SFP+ connector type does the 9.84 ft cable use on each end?

Each end terminates in an SFP+ network connector plated with copper for direct attachment.

How do I insert the passive twinax cable without damaging the latch?

Align the module with the port, push straight in until the latch clicks, then secure the cable with the provided strain relief.

When should I plan to replace the 30 AWG twinax assembly?

The passive copper construction has no active components to wear out; replace only if the cable jacket or connectors show physical damage.
