StarTech.com SFPCMM1M - 1 m Passive SFP+ Direct Attach Cable, Black

The StarTech SFPCMM1M 1m SFP+ to SFP+ passive twinax DAC cable (10GbE, 10GBASE-CU) provides a direct connection for enterprise networking equipment. Designed to link network switches and servers, this copper cable facilitates data transmission within and between adjacent racks. As a passive component, it serves as a direct point-to-point link without the need for active optical transceivers, and its simple design allows for quick installation between compatible hardware ports.

Compliant with MSA and TAA standards, this cable is compatible with hardware from various vendors in data centre environments. The standard male connectors seat securely into host interfaces to prevent accidental disconnection. Because the design is hot-swappable, network administrators can install or remove the cable without taking the host system offline, avoiding downtime during rack reconfiguration or network upgrades.

• Data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s for high-speed local networking
• Typical power consumption of 0.5 W during operation
• Lightweight 74 g design to minimise mechanical strain on hardware ports
• Black finish for tidy cable management in equipment racks
