BlueOptics TP-Link SM5220-1M BlueLAN 10GBASE-CR Passive SFP+ Direct Attach Cable, 3m

The BlueOptics TP-Link SM5220-1M BlueLAN 10GBASE-CR Passive SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Designed for use with TP-Link SM5220-1M compatible SFP+ ports, this passive twinax copper cable delivers reliable, low-latency data transmission up to 3 meters. Ideal for data center interconnects, server-to-server, and switch-to-switch links, it offers a plug-and-play experience with hot-swappable connectors.

Advantages

This DAC cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber optic cabling, reducing cost and complexity. Its passive design ensures zero power consumption (<0.5W) and minimal heat generation. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors with PVC jacket provide durability and flexibility for tight cable management. Compliant with RoHS, CE, and FCC standards, it guarantees environmental and safety compliance.
