IBM 00AY764 - cable Direct Attach de cobre Twinax pasivo SFP+ 10G compatible (DAC), 1,5m (5ft)

Short-range 10G links in racks and between adjacent cabinets often suffer from the cost and complexity of optical transceivers plus fiber, or the bulk and power draw of active copper assemblies. This passive SFP+ Direct Attach Cable solves that by delivering a reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection in a slim, low-latency copper twinax format that simply plugs into both ends.

Who is it for

Data center operators, network engineers, and IT integrators who need to connect servers, storage, and switches at 10GbE over distances up to 1.5 meters. It is ideal for top-of-rack switching, server-to-switch links, and intra-rack cabling where cost, power, and latency are critical.

Tips

For best performance, ensure both connected devices support SFP+ and 10GbE. Keep the cable away from sharp bends and high EMI sources. This passive DAC is ideal for short runs; for longer distances consider active optical cables or fiber transceivers.
