## Summary description

3 m StarTech direct attach twinax cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends for 10GbE connections. Passive low-power DAC provides a fixed 10 Gbps copper link between SFP+ ports for switches, servers and storage, suitable for short-reach interconnects in racks and data centers.

## Long description

The StarTech Direct Attach Cable SFP+ to SFP+ 3 m is a passive Twinax copper cable engineered to provide a fixed 10 Gbps connection between SFP+ ports. With SFP+ (Mini-GBIC) connectors on both ends and a 3 m length, this low-power, low-latency DAC is intended for short-reach interconnects such as in-rack switch-to-switch, switch-to-server or server-to-storage links in data centers and server rooms. The cable is hot-swappable and follows industry MSA standards to ensure interoperability with compatible SFP+ ports.
Advantages
This passive copper SFP+ cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with lower power consumption and latency compared with optical transceivers plus separate fiber. Its fixed 3 m length simplifies cabling in rack environments and reduces the need for transceivers and fiber patching for short runs. The hot-swappable design allows for replacement or upgrades without powering down connected equipment. The copper construction offers a cost-effective alternative for short-distance, high-speed links.
Suitable for
In-rack switch-to-switch connections
Switch-to-server and server-to-storage links
Short-distance 10GbE aggregation and uplink ports in data centers
High-density rack deployments where fiber is unnecessary
Key specifications
Data rate: 10 Gbps
Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
Cable type: Passive Twinax copper
Length: 3 m (approximately 9.8 ft)
Power profile: Low-power passive design
Latency: Low-latency link for short-reach applications
How to use
Insert the SFP+ connector at one end of the cable into the SFP+ port of the first device and the other end into the corresponding SFP+ port of the second device. Ensure both ports support 10GbE SFP+ connections and that devices remain powered on if hot-swap operation is required. Cable routing should avoid excessive bending and mechanical stress to preserve signal integrity. No additional configuration is typically required at the cable level; verify link status on connected devices and adjust network settings as needed.
Usage recommendations
Use this 3 m passive Twinax DAC for short, direct 10GbE links inside racks or between adjacent racks. For runs longer than the specified length or for applications requiring electrical isolation or longer reach, consider optical SFP+ transceivers with fiber. Regularly inspect connectors for debris and avoid tight bends to maintain reliable performance.
