SM5220-3M

3M Direct Attach SFP+ Cable for 10 Gigabit Connections

Overview Optimized for short‑reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links, the 3M Direct Attach SFP+ Cable delivers reliable, high‑performance connectivity for switches, servers, and storage arrays. Engineered for low latency and energy efficiency, this passive copper twinax solution supports up to 3 meters of distance and is ideal for top‑of‑rack, middle‑of‑row, and server‑to‑switch interconnects in modern data center environments.

Key Features

• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex

• Maximum cable length: up to 3 meters

• Connector type: SFP+ (direct attach)

• Cable type: passive copper twinax (cost‑effective, low latency)

• Low power consumption: no optical transceivers required

• Broad compatibility: works with SFP+ ports on most leading switch and server vendors

• Rugged housing: durable metal cages for reliable mating cycles

• Easy deployment: plug‑and‑play with hot‑swappable capability

Benefits

• Cost efficiency: lower per‑link cost compared with optical modules and fiber for short runs

• Performance: near‑native electrical performance with negligible added latency

• Power savings: reduced power draw because optical transceivers and lasers are not required

• Simplified inventory: standard lengths for predictable deployments and simplified cable management

• Reliability: robust physical construction and proven twinax performance for high‑density racks

Typical Applications

• Server to top‑of‑rack switch connections

• Switch to switch interconnects within the same rack or adjacent racks

• Storage array connections in SAN/NAS environments

• High‑performance computing clusters with dense short‑reach links

Installation Notes

• Verify SFP+ port compatibility and firmware/vendor interoperability before large deployments.

• Maintain proper bend radius and avoid kinking the twinax cable to preserve signal integrity.

• For runs longer than 3 meters, consider active copper or fiber optic SFP+ solutions.

Ordering Information Available in standard lengths up to 3 meters. Specify length and required quantity when ordering. Contact your Zorins Technologies representative for volume pricing, compatibility checks, and custom length options.

Technical Specifications (typical)

• Supported speed: 10.3125 Gbps (10GBASE)

• Latency: negligible added latency over direct electrical connection

• Operating temperature: 0°C to 70°C (verify model for exact range)

• Storage temperature: -40°C to 85°C (verify model for exact range)

• Mating cycles: rated for repeated hot‑swap operations
