FLYPROFiber 3M SFP+ DAC Twinax Cable — 10Gbps Direct Attach Copper (0.5m-7m)

Overview

The FLYPROFiber 3M SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Twinax Cable is a compact, plug‑and‑play copper interconnect designed for short‑reach deployments in modern networks. This passive SFP+ to SFP+ assembly consolidates the functions of two 10G SFP+ optics and a fiber patch cord into a single robust cable, helping you deploy racks and racks of equipment with fewer components and less clutter. Built for reliable performance, the cable prioritizes simplicity, durability, and quick installations in controlled environments where speed matters.

Key specifications and physical design

• 10Gbps data rate only: optimized for 10G SFP+ links; not intended for 1000Mbps, 2.5Gbps, or 5Gbps per the design.
• Passive copper twinax construction with SFP+ connectors on both ends, providing a compact, all‑in‑one interconnect.
• Length options from 0.5m up to 7m, with a practical 3m variant included in the lineup.
• Minimum bend radius of 20mm to help prevent kinks in tight racks and cable runs.
• Jacket: PVC OFNR, suitable for controlled data center environments.
• Each end ships with a dust cover and is packaged with anti‑static protection to minimize handling risks.

Why this DAC cable matters

• Cost efficiency: a single DAC cable can replace two 10G SFP+ optical modules plus a fiber patch cord, reducing upfront spend and reducing cable clutter in short‑reach deployments.
• Durability and simplicity: a direct copper path between SFP+ ports minimizes interface exposure and avoids multiple plug‑and‑play steps, potentially lowering wear over time.
• Ready to deploy: the included dust covers and careful packaging support clean, rapid installation in crowded rack environments.

Compatibility, use cases, and support

• Broad compatibility with a wide range of brands and devices, including Cisco, Meraki, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, Netgear, D‑Link, Intel, Supermicro, and more where SFP+ direct attach is supported.
• Ideal for short‑reach interconnects between switches, NAS/storage nodes, or server racks within a single rack or between adjacent racks.
• FLYPROFiber provides lifetime technical support; you can reach out for troubleshooting and any needed solution adjustments.

What you get

This cable ships as a single, complete SFP+ to SFP+ assembly with two SFP+ ends, dust covers, and protective packaging. Its simple, fixed length options help standardize data center cabling and reduce the need for excessive adapters or patch cords.
