BlueOptics TP-Link SM5220-2M BlueLAN 10GBASE-CR Passive SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable, 2 Meter

The BlueOptics TP-Link SM5220-2M BlueLAN 10GBASE-CR Passive SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Designed for compatibility with TP-Link SM5220-2M modules and MSA-compliant SFP+ ports, this passive twinax copper cable delivers reliable 10 Gbps data transmission over a 2-meter length with ultra-low latency and zero power consumption.

Advantages

This passive DAC cable offers several key benefits: no power consumption (0W), hot-swappable design for easy installation, and a durable PVC jacket for long-lasting performance. It is an ideal choice for data centers, server rooms, and storage area networks (SAN) where high-speed, low-cost interconnects are required.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack (ToR) and end-of-row (EoR) connections
• Server to switch links in 10GbE networks
• Storage Area Network (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) connectivity
• High-performance computing clusters
