Network Cable Signamax 100-35C-3M SFP+ DAC 3m Black

The Signamax 100-35C-3M SFP+ DAC is a 3 m direct attach cable designed for fast and cost-effective connection of two network devices at speeds up to 10 Gbps. It plugs directly into SFP+ ports and includes universal Cisco-compatible firmware to ensure interoperability with most vendors' switches and routers. The cable supports both 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps links and is rated for operation in typical data center temperatures.

Advantages

The DAC cable provides a low-latency, low-cost alternative to optical transceivers and fiber patch cords by connecting SFP+ ports directly. It supports Ethernet and Fibre Channel protocols, offers resistance to bending, and features a durable metal construction for reliable performance in networking environments. Compatibility with standard SFP+ interfaces simplifies installation without additional modules.

Suitable for

• Direct connection between switches and routers in data centers
• Short-reach links in server racks and network cabinets
• High-speed 10G Ethernet and 1G fallback links
• Environments requiring Cisco-compatible SFP+ cables

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Interface: SFP+ direct attach cable (DAC)
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps (also supports 1 Gbps)
• Protocol support: Ethernet and Fibre Channel
• Vendor compatibility: universal Cisco compatibility
• Operating temperature: 0 °C to 70 °C

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ slot of the two network devices you wish to interconnect. Ensure both devices support SFP+ interfaces and configure the ports according to your network settings. The link should be established automatically and report as a standard SFP+ connection at up to 10 Gbps.

Usage recommendations

Use the DAC for short-distance, rack-to-rack or switch-to-switch connections inside the same equipment room. Avoid tight bends beyond the cable's rated bend radius and operate within the specified temperature range for reliable performance.
