Advantages
This Direct Attach Cable offers a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for short-distance connections. By utilizing a passive copper design, it eliminates the need for additional power consumption at the connection points, contributing to lower operational costs and reduced heat generation within server racks. The high-quality 30AWG cabling provides excellent signal integrity, ensuring consistent performance for demanding network tasks while maintaining a flexible and durable form factor for easy cable management.
Suitable for
High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking
Data center server-to-switch interconnects
Storage Area Network (SAN) configurations
Short-range rack-to-rack connectivity
This cable may not be suitable for long-distance networking requirements, as passive DAC technology is limited to short reaches. It is also not intended for use with non-SFP+ compatible ports or hardware that requires active optical signal conversion over extended distances.
Key specifications
Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
Cable length: 3 meters
Wire gauge: 30AWG
Data rate: 10 Gbps
Cable type: Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
How to use
To install the cable, simply insert the SFP+ connectors into the corresponding SFP+ ports on your networking equipment, such as switches, routers, or network interface cards. Ensure that the connectors are fully seated until you hear a click or feel a secure connection. No additional configuration or external power supply is required, as the cable is a passive component that is automatically recognized by compatible hardware.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that your networking equipment supports SFP+ 10GBASE-CR passive copper cables.
Ensure the 3-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack layout.
Confirm compatibility with your existing NVIDIA hardware infrastructure.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance and to prevent signal degradation, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius. Ensure that the cable is properly routed through cable management arms or trays to prevent strain on the SFP+ ports.
