Brocade EXSFP10GEDAC1M 10 Gbit/s SFP+ network ethernet cable 3.28 ft

Direct-attach 10 Gbit/s SFP+ cable

The Brocade EXSFP10GEDAC1M is a 3.28 ft direct-attach copper cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends. It provides a 10 Gbit/s link between compatible network devices such as switches, routers or servers. The fixed-length assembly removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. It suits installers who want a single pre-terminated cable for short-reach 10 GbE connections.

Factory-assembled ends simplify deployment

Both ends are permanently fitted with SFP+ Network connectors, so no field termination or cleaning of optical interfaces is required. The cable draws power from the host ports and operates without an external power supply. A lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer covers the assembled unit. This construction reduces insertion-loss variability compared with separate transceiver and cable combinations.

Verify SFP+ port compatibility and reach

Confirm that each target device accepts SFP+ direct-attach copper cables and supports 10 Gbit/s operation over passive copper. Check that the 3.28 ft length fits the rack or cabinet layout without excessive slack or tension. Ensure the switch or NIC firmware lists this cable type as qualified, because some vendors restrict third-party DACs. No separate transceiver slots or fibre patch panels are needed.
