Grey 9.84 ft passive twinax cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends

Wiitek

Wiitek SFP+ DAC passive twinax cable 30AWG 9.84 ft 10Gbps

SKU CH-TJTK-JW7H0

A 9.84 ft passive SFP+ twinax cable carrying 10 Gbps over 30 AWG copper for switch-to-server links

  • Overall length9.84 ft (3 m)
  • 10 Gbps throughput with passive twinax design
  • 84 ft length suits rack-to-rack links
  • 30 AWG copper keeps crosstalk low
  • SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432 compliant interoperability
  • Operates reliably from 32 to 158 °F

Product purpose

This is a 9.84 ft SFP+ direct-attach copper twinax cable rated for 10 Gbps Ethernet and 10G Fibre Channel links. It connects switches, routers, NAS appliances, NICs or other gear that presents SFP+ ports.

Who it suits

It suits builders wiring a storage-area network, a high-density switch fabric or a short rack run where both ends already have SFP+ cages. It does not suit links longer than the supplied length, links that require active optics or fibre media, or ports that accept only SFP or QSFP form factors.

Build fit

The passive 30 AWG PVC-jacketed assembly needs no external power and operates from 0 to 70 °C. It plugs directly into matching SFP+ slots, freeing a switch from separate transceivers and patch cords while keeping the rack tidy.

Questions about this item

What SFP+ ports must my switch and server already have for this 9.84 ft passive twinax cable to plug in?

Both devices need SFP+ cages that accept SFP+ to SFP+ direct-attach copper cables compliant with SFP+ MSA and SFF-8432.

Will this 30AWG passive cable work reliably with older 1GbE SFP modules I still use in some ports?

The cable is built for 10Gbps operation; 1GbE SFP modules use a different electrical interface and will not link over this passive twinax assembly.

How can I confirm the link is running at the rated 10Gbps after I connect the cable?

Check the switch or NIC dashboard for a 10Gbps link speed and verify clean counters with no CRC errors during traffic.
