Ruckus 10G-SFPP-TWX-P-0301 10 GbE SFP Passive Twinax Cable (3 m)
Overview
The Ruckus 10G-SFPP-TWX-P-0301 is a 3-metre passive twinax direct-attach SFP+ cable assembly, built for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) links between SFP+ ports—typically within the same rack or adjacent racks. If you’re connecting two switches or a server and switch that are physically close and both have SFP+ ports, this cable removes the need for separate SFP+ transceivers plus patch-cords. It solves the cost and latency challenge of short-distance 10 GbE connectivity by delivering a fixed-length, pre-terminated copper cable. In real terms, use it for racks of 24–48 servers uplinking to ToR switches or stacking links between access switches. While this is a Ruckus/CommScope branded assembly, you should double-check your switch/vendor compatibility because passive twinax cables often have vendor-EEPROM lock-in.
Key Features
-
3 metre SFP+-to-SFP+ passive twinax simplifies deployment and reduces component count compared to separate modules + patch cable.
-
Supports 10 GbE (10 GBASE-CU) for high-density server uplinks or switch stacking within rack-adjacent deployments.
-
Copper twinax means lower latency and power than equivalent optical links for short‐reach applications.
-
Pre-terminated cable assembly reduces installation time and minimizes risk of mismatched patching in dense racks.
-
Compatible with Ruckus/CommScope switches (and other SFP+-capable platforms) when vendor lock-in is respected; check firmware/EEPROM.
