A cost-effective, low‑latency, and energy‑efficient copper interconnect designed for short‑reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Specifically built as a Twinax DAC with 30 AWG wire, suitable for data centers, high‑performance computing clusters, and inter-rack ~2 m connections.
Form Factor: SFP+ to SFP+ direct attach copper (Twinax) cable
Maximum Data Rate: 10 Gbps full‑duplex Ethernet, compatible with 10GBASE‑CR or 10GSFP+ standards
Wire Gauge: 30 AWG conductor, balancing flexibility and electrical integrity
Available Lengths: Offered in 0.5 m and 2 m variants
Minimum Bend Radius: Approximately 20 mm – avoid bending tighter to prevent signal degradation
Ultra‑Low Latency: Passive Twinax solutions deliver ~0.1 µs latency, significantly lower than 10GBASE‑T alternatives (~1.5–2.5 µs)
Minimal Power Consumption: Around 0.1 W per cable for passive twinax assemblies
High Reliability: Bit Error Rate (BER) better than 10⁻¹⁸, suitable for critical infrastructure use.
MSA Compliance: Adheres to SFP+ MSA specifications (e.g., SFF‑8431, SFF‑8432) for interoperability across major vendors.
Environmental Standards: Typically RoHS-compliant (lead-free).
Hot‑Plug Support: Fully hot-pluggable for live swap replacements.

Ideal for:
Short‑distance interconnects within server racks or adjacent racks (0.5–2 m).
Environments where latency and energy efficiency are critical (e.g., HPC clusters, enterprise networks).
Cost-conscious deployments preferring passive copper over fiber optics without sacrificing speed.
Optional Active Versions: For lengths exceeding ~7 m, we offer active DAC variants with onboard signal conditioning (note: subject to product line specifics).
Cable Handling: Do not exceed bend limits; repeated bending near minimal radius may degrade performance.
Vendor Interoperability: Works seamlessly with Cisco, Juniper, Mellanox, Ubiquiti, Dell, Arista, etc., as MSA-compliant.
