Compatible with SFP+ ports that accept passive DACs.

## Long description

Passive SFP+ Direct Attach Cable BlueOptics 3 m, 10GBASE-CR, AWG30 is a twinax copper cable assembly designed to provide a direct 10 Gbps connection between SFP+ ports. At 3 meters length and with AWG30 wiring, the cable supports 10GBASE-CR short-reach links without requiring optical transceivers, enabling energy-efficient and low-latency connectivity for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch topologies. It is intended for use in systems and network equipment that accept passive SFP+ DAC modules.
Advantages
The passive SFP+ DAC eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers and fiber patch cords, reducing component count and simplifying installation. Twinax copper conductors and the AWG30 gauge deliver stable signal integrity for short distances while maintaining low insertion loss and minimal latency. The fixed 3 m length is suitable for rack-level interconnects and helps avoid excess cable management complexity. Compatibility with SFP+ ports that accept passive DACs ensures straightforward plug-and-play deployment when used with supported hardware.
Suitable for
 Server-to-top-of-rack switch connections in data centers
 Switch-to-switch links within the same rack or adjacent racks
 High-bandwidth, low-latency links in storage and virtualization environments
Key specifications
 Interface: SFP+ to SFP+
 Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBASE-CR)
 Length: 3 meters
 Cable type: Twinax copper (direct attach)
 Conductor gauge: AWG30
 Passive operation: no active electronics or optical transceivers required
How to use
Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until the connector latches. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plugging guidelines from your hardware vendor if available. Verify that connected devices accept passive SFP+ DACs and that link negotiation settings support 10GBASE-CR. After physical connection, check link status indicators and network configuration to confirm the 10 Gbps link is established.
Usage recommendations
Use this passive SFP+ DAC for short-reach, rack-level interconnects where 3 m length is appropriate. Avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic interference sources and do not exceed the recommended bend radius to maintain signal performance. Confirm hardware compatibility with passive DACs to prevent link issues.
