The JBX06304 SFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable represents the optimal solution for high-speed network infrastructure requiring dependable, cost-effective connectivity. This 3-meter Brocade-compatible cable is purpose-built for modern data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications environments demanding consistent 10 gigabit performance. **Superior Construction & Design** Manufactured with precision-engineered 30AWG twinax copper cable and terminated with SFP+ connectors featuring gold-plated copper contacts, this cable ensures maximum signal fidelity and connection longevity. The robust plastic jacketing provides durability and protection against workplace abrasion while maintaining flexibility for installation in tight spaces. **Performance & Specifications** Qualified to industry standards SFF-8431 and SFF-8472, the JBX06304 delivers consistent 10GBASE-CR performance with minimal latency—critical for applications requiring real-time data transmission. The passive design eliminates concerns about power consumption, heat generation, and active component failures, making it ideal for budget-conscious deployments without sacrificing performance. **Compliance & Certification** Fully RoHS and ELV compliant under EU directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets rigorous environmental and safety standards. TUV and UL certifications confirm adherence to international safety protocols, providing peace of mind for critical infrastructure installations. **Ideal Applications** Perfect for Brocade switch-to-switch connections, server-to-switch uplinks, and storage area network (SAN) deployments. The 3-meter length accommodates standard data center rack spacing while the passive design enables installation without additional power infrastructure. **Warranty & Support** Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty and custom brand programming availability for enterprise deployments. Ships from convenient US locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. **Why Choose Passive DAC?** Unlike active solutions, passive DAC cables eliminate ongoing maintenance concerns, reduce operational expenses, and provide reliable performance within standard distance limitations. For distances up to 3 meters, passive cables deliver superior economics without performance compromise.
