LevelOne SFP+ Direct Attach koperkabel 10Gbps Twinax 3m

Data centers and high-performance networks often struggle with expensive optical transceivers and fragile fiber connections for short-reach 10G links. The LevelOne SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable solves this by providing a reliable, cost-effective 10 Gbps interconnect in a single, ready-to-use assembly. This 3-meter twinax cable features SFP+ connectors on both ends, delivering low latency and minimal power consumption without the need for separate optical modules. It is fully compliant with SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 MSA standards, ensuring seamless compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment from leading vendors.

Who is it for

This cable is ideal for network administrators, data center operators, and system integrators who need to connect servers, switches, and storage devices over short distances. It is perfect for top-of-rack switching, server-to-switch uplinks, and switch-to-switch stacking in 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments. If you want to reduce cabling complexity and lower total cost of ownership without sacrificing performance, this DAC cable is the right choice.

Tips

For optimal performance, ensure both connected devices support SFP+ ports and 10G Ethernet. The cable is passive, so it does not require additional power or configuration. When routing, avoid sharp bends to maintain signal integrity. This DAC cable is best suited for distances up to 3 meters; for longer runs, consider active optical cables or fiber solutions.
