## Summary description

Lightwin LWO-DAC-SFPP-3M is a 3‑meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable with SFP+ connectors supporting 10Gbit/s links between SFP+ ports. Designed for short‑reach server, switch and storage interconnects, it offers a low‑latency, cost‑effective connection for data center topologies and rack‑to‑rack links where a direct copper SFP+ solution is required.

## Long description

Lightwin 10Gbit SFP+ to SFP+ DAC Direct Attach Cable LWO-DAC-SFPP-3M is a 3‑metre direct attach copper cable with SFP+ connectors designed to provide a 10Gbps electrical link between compatible SFP+ ports. It is intended for short‑reach interconnects in racks, between switches, servers and storage devices where a low-latency, cost-effective point-to-point copper connection is required. The cable is black, terminated with SFP+ male connectors on both ends and supports standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over a fixed length.
Advantages
The direct attach copper construction delivers low latency and low power consumption compared with optical transceivers and separate fiber patch cords. As a fixed-length, integrated solution it simplifies rack wiring and reduces component count while offering predictable performance for short-distance links. The SFP+ form-factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of network equipment that supports SFP+ electrical interfaces.
Suitable for
Short-reach 10GbE connections between switches within a rack or adjacent racks
Direct server-to-switch links in data centre and lab environments
Storage array connections that accept SFP+ copper direct attach
Environments where a simple, low-latency copper link is preferred over fiber
When it may not be suitable
This DAC cable is intended for short distances; it is not suitable for long-distance links or for environments that require optical isolation or very long runs beyond the physical cable length. It will not replace fibre-optic transceivers where distance, EMI immunity, or optical reach are required. Compatibility depends on the host equipment supporting standard SFP+ electrical DAC modules; some vendors enforce firmware checks.
Key specifications
Cable type: Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
Nominal length: 3 m
Maximum link rate: 10 Gbit/s (SFP+ electrical)
Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends
Colour: Black
How to use
Insert each SFP+ connector firmly into the corresponding SFP+ port on your switches, servers or storage devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for 10GbE operation. No separate power or transceiver modules are required for the cable itself. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed and duplex. To remove, depress the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.
What to consider before purchase
Confirm that both devices support passive SFP+ direct-attach copper connections and do not block third-party DAC modules
Verify that a 3 m fixed-length cable meets your rack or equipment spacing requirements
Consider whether optical fibre would be required for longer distances or EMI-sensitive environments
Usage recommendations
Use the cable for short, permanent point-to-point connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends near the connector and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment vendor. When mixing vendor equipment, test one link before wide deployment to confirm compatibility.
