  • Cable categoryTwinaxial
  • First connectorSFP Network
  • Overall length16.4 ft (5 m)
  • 10 GbE direct-attach copper link for low-latency switching
  • 40 ft twinax reach fits standard rack-to-rack runs
  • SFP+ connectors plug straight into Juniper line cards
  • Passive copper design draws no extra power from the port

10 GbE SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

This 16.40 ft twinax cable provides a 10 GbE link between SFP+ ports. It uses a passive copper assembly for short-range connections inside a rack. The direct attach design removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Suitable for high-speed links between switches, servers or storage arrays.

Ideal for rack-to-rack or intra-rack 10 GbE links

Buyers who need longer reach than 16.40 ft should consider optical modules and fibre patch cables. Installations requiring active signal conditioning or breakout configurations are not supported by this fixed-length assembly. Environments that demand armoured or plenum-rated jackets will need a different cable type.

Questions about this item

Does the 16.40 ft passive twinax cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when running 10 GbE links continuously?

The passive twinax assembly has no active electronics, so it adds no measurable heat and draws zero power beyond the port's normal transceiver budget.

Which SFP+ ports must my switches or NICs provide for this 16.40 ft cable to work?

Both ends need standard SFP+ cages that support 10 GbE direct-attach copper; the cable plugs directly into those cages without separate transceivers.
