3M 10GBE SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable

The 3m (9.8 ft) 10GbE SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cables provide affordable 10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with any SFP+ enabled port. Each SFP+ cable utilizes an integrated 20-position “board-as-connector” design with zinc die-cast backshells for superior EMI performance and minimal insertion loss. These 3m SFP+ cables are assembled with industry-leading 30 AWG twinaxial SKEWCLEAR® 2-pair wire; optimized for bandwidth-intense applications such as 10Gb Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, and SONET. These cables are designed to the open-source SFF-8431 MSA standard in order to guarantee compatibility with the vast majority of SFP+ equipment on the market also based on that standard. For non-compliant SFP+ switches from HP, Cisco and Force10, it is recommended to use a fully-compatible SFP+ Optical Module instead.
