4.92 ft SFP+ passive DAC cable

This IBM 00AY764 cable connects two SFP+ ports with a 4.92 ft passive direct-attach copper assembly. It is intended for 10 GbE links inside a single rack or between adjacent racks where short reach is sufficient. The fixed length suits structured cabling plans that do not require field termination.

Sustained 10 GbE throughput in rack

As a passive DAC the cable introduces no active components, so latency and power draw remain minimal during continuous 10 GbE traffic. Signal integrity is maintained for the full 4.92 ft without external power, making it suitable for constant-load uplinks between switches or servers. Heat generation is negligible compared with active optical alternatives.

Verify SFP+ ports and rack spacing

Confirm both endpoints accept SFP+ passive copper modules and that the 4.92 ft reach matches the physical distance between them. The cable is designed for 19-inch 4-post rack environments and the recessed rail kit context described by the manufacturer. No external power or configuration is required beyond compatible SFP+ slots.

Questions about this item

Does the 4.92 ft SFP+ passive cable draw any power or generate heat when running 10 GbE all day?

The cable is a passive direct-attach copper assembly, so it requires no external power and produces negligible heat during continuous 10 GbE operation.

What SFP+ ports must my switches or adapters already have to use this 00AY764 cable?

Both ends terminate in SFP+ Network connectors, so each device needs an available SFP+ cage that accepts passive copper DAC cables.

Can I mix this 4.92 ft IBM cable with 1.5 m passive DAC cables from the same rack kit without link issues?

Yes, the 4.92 ft and 1.5 m passive SFP+ cables share the same electrical specification, so they operate together in the same 10 GbE rack deployment.
