Two-metre grey SFP+ passive twinax cable with black connectors

Wiitek

Wiitek 2M SFP+ DAC network ethernet cable 10Gbps passive 30AWG

SKU CH-QYPC-5VK0N

Passive 30 AWG twinax cable links two SFP+ ports at 10 Gbps over 6.56 ft

  • Overall length6.56 ft (2 m)
  • 10 Gbps throughput for high-speed storage and server links
  • Passive twinax design needs no power and runs cool
  • 2 metre reach fits typical rack-to-rack connections
  • 30 AWG copper keeps the cable thin and easy to route
  • Compliant with SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432 for broad switch compatibility

2-metre 10 Gbps SFP+ DAC cable

This passive twinax cable carries 10 Gbps Ethernet or Fibre Channel traffic over a 2-metre run. It plugs directly into SFP+ ports on switches, routers, NAS appliances or server NICs. The 30 AWG copper construction keeps the link simple and power-free. It suits installers who need a short, reliable interconnect without transceivers.

Replaces fibre transceivers for short links

When the distance between two SFP+ ports is two metres or less, this cable removes the cost and complexity of a pair of optics and patch cords. The jump is worth it in rack rows, adjacent cabinets or inside a single chassis where latency and power draw must stay minimal. It is not for runs that exceed the passive reach or for links that require optical isolation.

Fits any SFP+ MSA compliant slot

The assembly meets SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432 so it seats in multi-vendor gear from Cisco, Ubiquiti, Mellanox and others listed in the compatibility table. No external power or configuration is needed, freeing switch power budgets and port density for other connections. The PVC jacket and 0 to 70 °C rating cover standard data-centre environments.

Questions about this item

Will the 30AWG passive twinax cable fit in a standard SFP+ cage without blocking adjacent ports?

The 30AWG wire gauge keeps the cable slim enough for high-density SFP+ cages, and the passive design adds no bulky electronics to the connector housing.

Do I need to configure anything after plugging the SFP+ ends into my switch and server, or is it truly plug-and-play?

Insert both SFP+ connectors until they click; the passive twinax requires no drivers or firmware, but verify the switch port is set to 10Gbps rather than auto-negotiate.

How often should I replace this 2M DAC cable in a 0 to 70°C rack environment?

Passive copper twinax has no active components to wear out; reseat the connectors during scheduled maintenance and replace only if link errors appear or the PVC jacket shows damage.
