The JBX06309 3-meter Cisco Compatible 10GBASE-CR SFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable represents a cost-effective, reliable solution for enterprise datacenter networking. As a passive DAC cable, it eliminates the need for power-hungry active components while maintaining superior signal integrity across short-distance connections. Technical Specifications: The cable features 30AWG twinax copper conductors housed in a durable plastic jacket, delivering excellent EMI shielding and consistent impedance characteristics. Both ends terminate in SFP+ connectors with precision-machined, gold-plated contacts ensuring secure, low-loss connections. The 3-meter length is specifically designed for intra-rack and adjacent-rack deployments in modern datacenter environments. Performance & Compatibility: Qualified to IEEE 802.3ae and SFF-8431/SFF-8472 specifications, this cable guarantees 10GBASE-CR performance with Cisco networking equipment. It directly replaces original Cisco part numbers SFP-H10GB-CU3M, CBL-TA-3M, and MA-CBL-TA-3M, making installation seamless in existing infrastructure. Certifications & Compliance: Fully RoHS and ELV compliant per EU Directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets stringent international standards. TUV and UL certifications confirm safety and reliability across diverse deployment scenarios. Operational Benefits: As a passive solution, the JBX06309 generates minimal heat, consumes zero power, and introduces negligible latency—ideal for bandwidth-sensitive applications. The robust 30AWG construction withstands repeated connection cycles, ensuring long-term durability in high-traffic datacenter environments. Use Cases: Perfect for connecting Cisco Catalyst switches, UCS servers, and storage arrays within short-distance networking topologies. Commonly deployed in hyperscale datacenters, enterprise networking environments, and cloud infrastructure installations. Warranty & Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty.
