Cablenet CN-DAC-10G-2-HP 2m 10GBase direct attach cable

Network upgrades often stall because you lack a reliable, high-speed link between switches or servers. The Cablenet CN-DAC-10G-2-HP 2m 10GBase direct attach cable solves that by providing a passive, copper-based connection that delivers up to 10 Gbps over a short 2 m run. It plugs directly into SFP+ ports, giving you a tidy, low-power solution for 10G Ethernet or Fibre Channel without the hassle of separate transceivers.

Why Choose Cablenet Direct Attach Cable

With this cable you get a plug-and-play experience that feels effortless. The twin SFP+ connectors snap into place, and the cable stays securely in position even in cramped rack environments. Because it’s passive, there’s no extra power draw, so your equipment runs cooler and your energy bill stays low. The sturdy black jacket resists wear, and the cable’s 2 m length is perfect for linking adjacent devices while keeping cable clutter to a minimum.
