DrayTek DCX103 CX10 SFP DAC Cable - 3 Meter

The DrayTek DCX103 is a 3-meter direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for interconnecting network switches via SFP ports. This high-speed connection solution supports data transfer rates from 1Gb/s up to 10Gb/s, making it suitable for demanding network environments.

Direct Attach Copper Technology

DAC cables provide a cost-effective alternative to fiber optic transceivers for short-range connections. The DCX103 eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber cables, reducing both equipment costs and power consumption. The copper-based construction delivers reliable performance for switch-to-switch connections within racks or across adjacent equipment.

Technical Specifications

This SFP+ compatible cable supports speeds ranging from 1 gigabit to 10 gigabit per second, providing flexibility for various network configurations. The 3-meter length is ideal for connecting switches within the same rack or nearby equipment in data centers and server rooms. The cable features integrated SFP+ connectors on both ends, ensuring secure connections without additional hardware.

Network Switch Interconnection

The DCX103 is specifically engineered for interconnecting network switches through their SFP ports. This passive twinax cable solution offers lower latency compared to active optical cables, making it particularly effective for high-frequency trading environments, storage networks, and other latency-sensitive applications. The direct attach design maintains signal integrity across the full 3-meter span.

Data Center and Server Room Applications

Designed for professional networking environments, this cable meets the demands of modern data centers and server rooms. The copper construction provides electromagnetic interference resistance while maintaining consistent performance. The passive design requires no external power, reducing heat generation and improving overall system efficiency.
