TP-Link 1M Direct Attach SFP+ Cable for 10 Gigabit Connections

For network engineers who demand a dependable 10G link without the bulk of optical modules, the TP-Link 1M Direct Attach SFP+ Cable delivers a ready-to-use copper interconnect that plugs straight into SFP+ ports. This passive DAC cable meets IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-CR, offering a low-power, low-latency connection for short-range data centre runs. At one metre, it bridges adjacent switches, servers, and storage arrays with a clean, fixed-length solution that eliminates separate transceivers and fibre cleaning.

Highlights

• 10 Gbps data rate for bandwidth-hungry applications
• Passive direct attach copper (DAC) design — no external power needed
• Hot-swappable SFP+ connectors for zero-downtime maintenance
• 30 AWG copper conductors with PVC jacket for durability
• Ultra-low power consumption under 0.1 W
• CE, FCC, and RoHS compliant

In daily use

The TP-Link 1M DAC cable excels in high-density racks where airflow and simplicity matter. Its flexible black jacket routes easily through cable managers, and the SFP+ ends latch securely to prevent accidental disconnects. Because it is passive, it generates almost no heat and draws negligible power, helping you keep energy costs down in 10G top-of-rack or storage area network deployments. Operating from 0°C to 70°C, it handles warm aisle conditions without signal degradation.
