SFP+ direct-attach copper cable

The Cables To Go 06124 is a passive SFP+ direct-attach copper cable built for short-reach links between switches, servers and storage arrays. It uses 24 AWG or 30 AWG, 100 Ohm twinax with SFF-8431 compliant connectors and quick-release pull-latches. The 6.56 ft black assembly arrives new and ready for rack deployment.

Data-centre and enterprise interconnects

Suits teams needing a low-power, cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x Fibre Channel rates inside a single rack or adjacent cabinets. Not for runs that exceed the cable length or for installations that require optical isolation or fibre media.

6.56 ft reach and supported rates

Comfortably handles 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x Fibre Channel traffic across the full 6.56 ft span with minimal latency and lower power draw than optics. Beyond that distance the copper medium reaches its practical limit and optical assemblies become necessary.

Questions about this item

Do I need two SFP+ ports with SFF-8431 connectors to use the 6.56 ft cable?

Yes, each end terminates in an SFF-8431 SFP+ connector, so both devices must provide a matching SFP+ cage that accepts that interface.

Will the 24AWG or 30AWG, 100 Ohm construction work with legacy 1x and 2x Fibre Channel gear I keep in the rack?

The assembly supports 1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x Fibre Channel data rates, so older 1x and 2x equipment will interoperate without configuration changes.

How can I confirm the 6.56 ft link is running at the intended 8x Fibre Channel rate after installation?

Check the port statistics on each switch for the negotiated speed and error counters; a clean 8x rate with zero CRC errors indicates the cable is performing to spec.
