The JBX06193 1.5m 10GBASE-CR SFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable represents professional-grade networking infrastructure designed specifically for NVIDIA Mellanox environments. This specialized connection solution bridges the gap between high-speed switching equipment and network endpoints with exceptional reliability and performance. **Technical Specifications & Performance** This cable features 30AWG Twinax copper conductors optimized for 10GB Ethernet transmission. The passive DAC (Direct Attach Copper) design eliminates active components, reducing power consumption and potential points of failure while maintaining signal integrity. With IEEE 802.3ae qualification and SFF-8431/SFF-8472 compliance, the cable meets stringent industry standards for data center applications. **Construction & Durability** The robust copper cable construction with plastic jacketing provides excellent shielding against electromagnetic interference while ensuring longevity in high-density server environments. Operating across the 0-70°C temperature range, it performs reliably in both standard and elevated ambient conditions typical of data center infrastructure. **Compatibility & Integration** Purpose-built for NVIDIA Mellanox hardware ecosystems, this cable offers plug-and-play compatibility with qualifying Mellanox switches and adapters. It directly replaces OEM part numbers 980-9I68G-00J01A and MC3309130-0A1, ensuring seamless integration into existing deployments. **Enterprise-Grade Compliance** Full RoHS and ELV compliance meets environmental regulations across EU and North American markets. Safety certifications include UL and TUV standards, providing confidence in reliability and regulatory adherence. The 90-day limited warranty protects your investment. **Ideal Applications** Perfect for data center interconnects, server-to-switch connections, storage area networks (SAN), and high-performance computing clusters requiring short-reach 10GB connectivity. The 1.5-meter length accommodates typical rack and adjacent equipment spacing. **Value Proposition** As a passive DAC solution, this cable offers superior cost-effectiveness compared to active alternatives while delivering equivalent performance for short-distance deployments.
