## Summary description

The StarTech.com DAC-SFP-10G-3M is a 3m long Direct Attach Cable designed for 10G SFP+ connections. It features SFP connectors on both ends and supports 10GbE data rates.

## Long description

The StarTech.com DAC-SFP-10G-3M is a 3 m passive Twinax direct-attach copper cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connections. It is compatible with Dell EMC DAC-SFP-10G-3M ports and conforms to MSA industry standards. The cable is intended for short-distance, high-speed point-to-point links such as in-rack switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections and offers a low-power, low-latency alternative to fiber for these applications.
Advantages
This passive SFP+ Twinax cable supports 10 Gbps data rates while consuming minimal power and delivering low latency, making it suitable for latency-sensitive network segments. It is hot-swappable to allow simple upgrades and replacements without prolonged network downtime. The cable provides a cost-effective solution for short-reach connections compared with fiber-optic transceivers and is built and tested to work with Dell EMC-compatible equipment. StarTech.com backs the product with a lifetime warranty and lifetime multilingual technical support.
Suitable for
Short-distance 10GbE links in data centers and server rooms
Point-to-point in-rack switch-to-switch connections
Switch-to-server connections within the same rack or adjacent racks
Key specifications

How to use
Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices you wish to connect (for example, a switch and a server). The cable is hot-swappable, so it can be installed or removed while devices are powered on if supported by the equipment. Ensure compatible SFP+ ports and firmware settings on both ends to maintain link negotiation at 10 Gbps.
Usage recommendations
Use this 3 m passive DAC for short-reach 10GbE connections within the same rack or between adjacent racks. Verify device compatibility (Dell EMC or MSA-compliant devices) and firmware settings before deployment. For longer distances or when electrical isolation is required, consider using fiber-optic transceivers instead.
