BlueOptics Waystream SFP-10GE-CU-3M Compatible BlueLAN 10GBASE-CR Passive SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable, 3m, AWG30

The BlueOptics Waystream SFP-10GE-CU-3M compatible BlueLAN Direct Attach Cable (DAC) provides a cost-effective, high-performance interconnect solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. This passive copper cable integrates SFP+ connectors at both ends, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and ensuring low power consumption. Ideal for short-range connections within data centers, it supports 10GBASE-CR standards and is fully compliant with SFF-8431 and SFF-8472 specifications.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers reliable 10GbE connectivity with minimal latency and zero power draw from the host equipment. Its passive design ensures simple plug-and-play operation, while the AWG30 wire gauge maintains signal integrity over the 3-meter length. The cable is hot-swappable and RoHS compliant, making it an environmentally friendly choice for network upgrades.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnect (top-of-rack to server)
• Network storage and SAN environments
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise network switches and routers with SFP+ ports
