Barrow Mods 2 in 1 accessory 10G SFP+ Twinax Cable 7m Orange

SKU CH-PCQN-MS7WN

A 7 m passive SFP+ Twinax cable delivering 10 Gbps without separate transceivers, tested for signal integrity and MSA-compliant

  • 10Gbps throughput for short-reach links
  • Passive copper design cuts transceiver spend by 40%+
  • 7-metre orange cable tested with TDR and VNA
  • MSA-compliant EEPROM enables plug-and-play recognition
  • Hot-swappable SFP+ ends for live network changes

10G SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

This seven metre orange Twinax cable provides a 10 Gbps passive link between SFP+ ports on switches, routers or network cards. It removes the cost and bulk of separate transceiver modules while supporting hot-swappable insertion.

Replacing transceiver pairs

The passive copper design cuts deployment expense by roughly 40 percent compared with buying two SFP+ optics and a fibre patch lead. Best practice suggests keeping switch-to-switch runs within five metres and NIC connections within three metres; at seven metres this cable suits switch-to-switch or top-of-rack layouts where active optical cable would be over-specified.

Build integration

MSA-compliant EEPROM over I2C enables automatic recognition across Cisco, Meraki, Ubiquiti, Intel, Netgear, Supermicro and other MSA gear, so the link comes up without configuration. The fixed seven metre length frees rack space otherwise used by transceiver cages and fibre management, while the orange jacket aids quick visual tracing in dense cable bundles.

Questions about this item

What SFP+ port spacing does the 7 m twinax cable require?

The passive DAC uses standard SFP+ connectors compliant with MSA dimensions, so it fits any switch or NIC cage built to that specification.

How do I install the cable without damaging the latch, and what step do people skip?

Insert each end straight into the SFP+ cage until the latch clicks, then pull the release tab — not the cable body — when removing it; skipping the straight insertion often bends the latch.

When should I plan to replace this 7 m passive copper link?

Replace it if link errors appear, the cable is kinked, or you upgrade beyond 10 Gbps; passive copper is rated for the 10 Gbps spec and has no active components to wear out.
