INTELLINET 508391 – SFP+ 10G Passive DAC Twinax Cable

Overview :

The INTELLINET 508391 SFP+ 10G Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Twinax Cable provides high-speed, ultra-low latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity engineered for short-distance server, storage, and switch connections. Designed for network engineers, system integrators, and data center administrators, it serves as an energy-efficient, cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers and Cat6a copper patches in high-density environments.

Constructed in a 1.0-meter (3 ft.) length, this cable features factory-terminated SFP+ male connectors on both ends for direct electrical connection into active networking hardware. Built using 30 AWG twinaxial copper wire with an overall shield, it minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal attenuation while maintaining superior latency performance compared to standard RJ45 cabling. With power consumption below 0.1 W per end and near-zero thermal emissions, it ensures stable, reliable operation in demanding server racks up to 70°C.

Fully compliant with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, the cable guarantees cross-brand interoperability with major networking equipment, including Cisco, Ubiquiti, TP-Link, and ZyXEL. It is ideal for Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch links, adjacent rack connections, and 10GbE switch stacking. Do not use for cable runs exceeding 7 meters or in applications requiring electrical isolation across distinct grounding domains.

Key Features :

• Supports 10 Gbps data transfer speeds for 10GbE network backbones.

• MSA-compliant for seamless compatibility with major switch hardware.

• Low power consumption under 0.1 W per end optimizes energy efficiency.

• Ultra-low latency direct copper link enhances high-performance computing.

• 1.0 m (3 ft.) length provides ideal reach for intra-rack setups and switch stacking.
