Compatible TP-Link TL-SM5220-1M BlueLAN 10GBASE-CR Passive SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable 1m

The BlueLAN TL-SM5220-1M-BL is a high-performance, passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It is fully compatible with TP-Link TL-SM5220-1M and other MSA compliant SFP+ ports, making it an ideal solution for data centers, server racks, and network switch interconnects.

Advantages

This passive DAC cable offers a cost-effective and low-power alternative to active optical cables and transceivers. With zero power consumption, it reduces overall energy costs while delivering reliable 10GbE performance. The 1-meter length is perfect for short-range connections within racks, minimizing cable clutter and improving airflow.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack to server connections
