DAC SFP+ kábel CBO MCP2101-X004B 10 Gbit/s 24 AWG

Direct Attach Copper (DAC) SFP+ cable CBO MCP2101-X004B 10Gbps 24AWG is a short-range high-speed interconnect designed for direct connections between compatible SFP+ ports. The passive copper cable uses 24AWG conductors to deliver a 10 gigabit per second link suitable for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch or storage-to-switch connections within racks and between adjacent racks in data center environments. The cable features metal SFP+ connector housings and a flexible jacket for reliable physical handling and rack installation.

Advantages

The cable provides a low-latency, power-efficient 10Gbps connection without the need for separate transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying deployment. Passive construction keeps power consumption minimal while 24AWG copper conductors ensure stable signal integrity for short distances. Plug-and-play operation allows quick installation with no additional configuration or optical modules required.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10GbE links between servers and top-of-rack switches
• Switch-to-switch connections within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Storage array connectivity where SFP+ ports are available
• Data center and rack-level interconnects requiring low latency

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Conductor gauge: 24 AWG copper
• Connector type: SFP+ direct attach (metal housings)
• Cable type: Passive direct attach copper (DAC)
• Typical use: Short-reach rack and data center interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch engages fully. Confirm that both connected devices support passive DAC cables and 10Gbps operation. Once seated, the link typically negotiates automatically and requires no additional configuration. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it gently to prevent strain on ports.

Recommendations

Use this passive DAC cable for short-distance connections inside racks or between adjacent racks; avoid using it for longer spans where active cables or fiber optics are required. Check device compatibility lists and port specifications before deployment to ensure reliable 10Gbps operation.
