The Mellanox MCP2102-X003B is a 3-meter, 10Gb SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable designed for short-range high-speed data transmission. It supports up to 10 Gbps per channel and complies with industry standards like IEEE-802.3ae and SFF-8431 specifications.
Its copper-based design reduces power consumption compared to fiber alternatives while providing low latency performance suitable for switches, routers, or storage appliances requiring reliable point-to-point connections within racks or across adjacent equipment in data centers.
This passive cable eliminates the need for transceiver modules by integrating connectors into its construction, simplifying deployment while ensuring compatibility with various systems supporting DAC cables of this type. The twinaxial wiring ensures signal integrity over shorter distances without adding complexity typically associated with optical solutions.
