DAC Cable Digitus SFP+ 10G DN-81223 3m

The Digitus SFP+ 10G DN-81223 3m direct-attach copper (DAC) cable provides a short-range, high-speed connection for data centers and network equipment. With SFP+ connectors on both ends and a 3 m AWG 30 twinax construction, the cable supports multiple data rates and protocol applications up to 10.52 Gbps, making it suitable for connecting switches, servers and other network devices in backbone and rack environments.

Advantages

This SFP+ 10G DAC cable offers low latency and reduced power consumption compared with active copper or optical solutions. The fixed 3 m length and AWG 30 twinax cable ensure stable signal transmission for short-range links. It is compatible with common SFP+ ports and supports a wide range of data rates and protocols, including 10G Ethernet and various Fibre Channel speeds.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches within racks or between adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Short-range backbone links requiring 10G or lower data rates

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into a compatible SFP+ port on network devices such as switches or servers until the connector latches. Use the fixed 3 m cable to connect equipment within the same rack or between adjacent racks. Ensure devices are powered off or that hot-plugging is supported by the hardware and check device firmware/vendor compatibility lists if required.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use this DAC cable for short-reach links up to 3 m and verify vendor compatibility if your switch or server has vendor-specific SFP+ requirements. Avoid tight bends and maintain proper cable routing to prevent stress on the twinax assembly.
