Wiitek

Wiitek DAC Cable 1.5m 10G SFP+ Passive Twinax 30AWG Blue

SKU CH-KWV7-5Q4A9

A 1.5 m passive SFP+ twinax cable delivering 10 Gbps over 30 AWG copper with a blue PVC jacket

  • Overall length4.92 ft (1.5 m)
  • 10 Gbps passive link for short-range switch stacking
  • 5 m blue twinax fits dense rack layouts
  • 30 AWG copper keeps crosstalk low
  • SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432 compliant for broad vendor support
  • 0–70 °C operating range suits data-centre aisles

10G SFP+ Passive DAC Cable

This 1.5-metre passive twinax cable carries 10Gbps between two SFP+ ports. It suits network engineers and homelab builders who need a short, cost-effective link between switches, routers, servers or storage appliances.

Blue 30AWG PVC Jacket Build

The blue PVC jacket protects 30AWG conductors rated for 0 to 70°C operation. SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432 compliance ensures mechanical fit in equipment from Cisco, Ubiquiti, Mikrotik, Netgear, Supermicro and other listed vendors.

Replaces Active Optics for Short Runs

Use this passive copper assembly instead of active optical cables when the link stays within 1.5 metres. The jump is worth it when power draw, latency and cost matter more than reach, and when the gear on both ends presents SFP+ cages.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the SFP+ passive twinax cable support?

The cable is rated for a maximum data rate of 10 Gbps, compliant with SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432 standards for 10Gb Ethernet and Fiber Channel links.

What physical clearance does the 30AWG twinax cable need for routing?

The 1.5-metre passive twinax cable uses a 30AWG PVC jacket; its slim profile suits high-density switch ports and tight rack routing without excessive bend radius.

How is the DAC cable installed, and what common mistake should be avoided?

Insert each SFP+ connector into a matching SFP+ port until it clicks; the common error is forcing the latch without aligning the key, which can damage the transceiver cage.
