SFP-DAC10-1m direct-attach copper cable, Lancom Systems, SFP to SFP, 1 m, full duplex

The SFP-DAC10-1m direct-attach copper cable from Lancom Systems is a fixed-length SFP-to-SFP cable designed for short-range, high-speed connections between network devices. With a 1 metre length and SFP plugs on both ends, it provides a compact, low-latency physical link for connecting switches, servers or other equipment with SFP ports in racks and data center environments. The cable supports full-duplex operation and is intended as a tested, vendor-compatible alternative to separate SFP transceivers.

Advantages

This direct-attach cable offers a simple, cost-efficient way to establish 1G/10G links without the need for separate transceiver modules. Its fixed copper assembly reduces component count and insertion complexity while delivering low latency and stable signal performance for short interconnects. The product has been verified for compatibility with Lancom network devices and is designed to be hot-swappable, enabling replacement or installation without powering down the connected systems.

Suitable for

• Short-range switch-to-switch links in network racks
• Switch-to-server connections in data centers and server rooms
• Top-of-rack and patching applications requiring low-latency copper links
• Environments where a vendor-tested SFP cable is preferred over separate transceivers

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP male to SFP male
• Length: 1 m
• Supported link speeds: 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps
• Operation mode: full duplex
• Operating temperature range: 0 °C to 70 °C
• Color and finish: black, steel
• Hot-swappable capability: yes

How to use

Insert each SFP connector into the SFP port of the two devices to be linked, ensuring secure seating until the latch engages. Verify link status on both devices and configure the interfaces according to your network settings (speed, duplex and VLAN or trunk parameters as required). The cable is intended for short, direct connections within a rack or between adjacent racks; avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector ends to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use this SFP-DAC10-1m cable for short-distance 1G/10G links where a tested, vendor-compatible copper solution is needed. Ensure devices support SFP copper direct-attach links and check link negotiation settings if automatic speed/duplex negotiation does not occur. Avoid exposure to temperatures outside the specified range and route the cable to minimize mechanical strain.
