Direct-Attach Twinax Cable 3 m

This passive copper cable connects two SFP+ ports at 10 Gbps over a 3 m length. It is guaranteed 100% compatible with Dell EMC DAC-SFP-10G-3M equipment. The assembly draws less than 1 W and is rated for continuous operation from 0 to 70 °C. It suits data-centre racks and campus switches where short-range copper is preferred to fibre.

Sustained Load Behaviour

As a passive twinax design the cable adds no active components that could throttle under prolonged traffic. Signal integrity is maintained across the full 3 m span at the rated 10 Gbps line rate. Operating temperature stays within the 0 to 70 °C envelope even during continuous high-throughput periods. MTBF is specified at 61728395 hours for long-term reliability.

Practical Interface Limits

The SFP+ direct-attach interface supports 10 Gbps Ethernet up to the 3 m reach of this passive assembly; longer runs would require active or optical alternatives. Humidity tolerance spans 0 to 85 % RH non-condensing for typical rack environments. Storage extremes extend from -40 to 85 °C for spares kept in unconditioned spaces. The cable is not suited for links exceeding the passive copper distance ceiling.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 3 m passive twinax cable draw when it runs all day?

The cable consumes less than 1 W while operating at 10.00 Gbps.

What ports must my equipment already have to use this SFP+ direct-attach cable?

Both ends need an SFP+ slot female connector to accept the cable.

Will the 3 m cable work reliably alongside older switches that also run at 10 Gbps?

Yes, it is 100 % compatible with the Dell EMC DAC-SFP-10G-3M and supports the same 10 Gbps rate.
