BlueOptics Edge Core ET5402-DAC-3M Compatible BlueLAN 10GBASE-CR Passive SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable, 3m, AWG30

The BlueOptics Edge Core ET5402-DAC-3M compatible BlueLAN Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a high-performance, passive copper twinax cable designed for short-reach interconnects in data centers, server racks, and network switches. It provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections, compliant with the 10GBASE-CR standard.

Advantages

This passive DAC cable offers significant advantages over optical transceivers: lower power consumption (less than 0.1W), reduced latency, and a lower total cost of ownership. It is hot-swappable and requires no configuration, making deployment quick and easy. The cable is built with AWG30 gauge copper and features a durable PVC jacket for reliable performance in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and servers within a rack or between adjacent racks
• 10GBASE-CR Ethernet networks in data centers and enterprise environments
• Short-reach interconnects where low power and low latency are critical
• Replacing optical transceivers for cost savings in appropriate distances
