Juniper Networks EX-SFP-10GE-DAC-2.5M Compatible 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 2.5m (8ft)

The EX-SFP-10GE-DAC-2.5M cable offers a direct SFP+ to SFP+ connection at 10Gbps. Its 2.5m (8ft) length and DAC construction are intended for Juniper Networks equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

Juniper platform documentation distinguishes straight QSFP28 DAC or AOC connections from DACBO and AOCBO breakout operation. On channelized systems, the host port must be configured for the required breakout mode. Match this HT compatible cable to the exact Juniper part number and the intended platform configuration.

The 2.5m (8ft) version is useful when a two-metre run would leave insufficient working slack. Before installation, check the complete horizontal and vertical path so that EX-SFP-10GE-DAC-2.5M reaches both ports without tension at either connector.

EX-SFP-10GE-DAC-2.5M occupies the middle of this family between EX-SFP-10GE-DAC-2M at 2m (7ft) and QFX-SFP-DAC-3M at 3m (10ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The rated power consumption is ≤0.1W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 23mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The intended application is 10G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include 1x InfiniBand QDR, DDR, SDR, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with EX-SFP-10GE-DAC-2.5M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 2.5m (8ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Juniper Networks software can request a pre-order check.

Quote HT part number EX-SFP-10GE-DAC-2.5M with the required quantity. The 2.5m (8ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
