2-metre 10 Gb SFP+ DAC cable

This 2-metre passive twinax cable carries 10 Gbps between two SFP+ ports. It suits network engineers linking switches, routers, NAS appliances or NICs in rack-mount environments. The red jacket aids visual tracing in dense patch panels.

Passive twinax reach and compliance

Passive copper limits reliable operation to short rack distances; the 2-metre length stays within SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432 specifications. AWG30 conductors and PVC sheathing operate from 0 to 70 °C (32 to 158 °F) with low crosstalk.

Replaces fibre modules for short links

This cable replaces paired SFP+ transceivers and patch cords for intra-rack 10 Gb Ethernet or Fibre Channel links, cutting cost and power draw. The jump is not worth it when runs exceed the passive copper envelope or when single-mode reach is required.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the red 2-metre cable and other lengths or colours?

The red jacket is a visual identifier; the 2-metre length covers most rack-to-rack runs while keeping passive twinax loss low.

What does the 10 Gbps headline rate actually deliver inside a live switch?

You get full 10 Gbps line-rate Ethernet or Fibre Channel with no transceiver latency because the copper twinax carries the signal directly.

Which standard governs the SFP+ interface and what distance does it limit?

The cable follows SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432, which define the mechanical and electrical limits for passive twinax up to 2 metres.
