Product Overview
The Lenovo 3M Passive SFP+ DAC Cable is engineered for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking across short distances with minimal latency. With identical SFP+ connectors at both ends and a twinaxial structure, this black 3-meter cable enables seamless connectivity between servers, switches, and storage devices within racks or adjacent network zones. The 30AWG gauge supports efficient signal integrity, making it well-suited for densely packed, performance-critical infrastructures.
Featuring a robust PVC jacket, the cable ensures durability and longevity in demanding data environments. Passive copper design reduces power consumption and heat output while also lowering overall network deployment costs, compared to active optical cables. Whether in enterprise server rooms or high-density cloud environments, Lenovo’s SFP+ DAC provides plug-and-play compatibility for SFP+ ports.
This cable is a practical solution for organizations aiming to increase performance without compromising efficiency or budget. It is particularly useful for high-bandwidth storage connections, high-performance computing clusters, and top-of-rack switching, where ultra-low latency and minimal signal degradation are essential.
