TP-Link Omada 1 Meter 25G SFP28 Direct Attach Cable

The TP-Link Omada 1 Meter 25G SFP28 Direct Attach Cable (model SM6220-1M) is a passive twin-axial cable assembly with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for short-distance, high-speed connections within and between adjacent racks. With a 1 meter length and support for 25G transmission, it provides a compact, low-latency link for data center and enterprise network equipment.

Advantages

This direct attach cable offers a cost-effective alternative to active optics for short-reach links, delivering reliable 25G connectivity with minimal setup. The passive twin-ax construction reduces power consumption and complexity compared with active transceivers, while the 1 m length simplifies cable management in rack environments. Built to industry connector standards, it ensures compatibility with SFP28 ports.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and servers within the same rack
• Connecting devices across adjacent racks in data centers
• Short-reach 25G links in enterprise network closets
