1G SFP Passive DAC

The 1G SFP Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) is a passive twinax direct attach copper cable with SFP to SFP, supporting 1Gbps links over a length of 0.5m (2ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for enterprise access, campus, telecom edge and industrial network environments, and complies with 1G Ethernet.

The 1G SFP Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) is a 1Gbps direct attach copper cable for SFP to SFP connections in enterprise access, campus, telecom edge and industrial network environments. This unit is available in 6 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 7m (23ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment.

This product is designed and tested to comply with 1G Ethernet. It plugs into any standards-based SFP to SFP port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.

The standard part number of this assembly is SFP-1G-PC005. We supply this cable in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft) and 7m (23ft). Custom lengths beyond this range can also be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.

Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.

Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.

We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.

Production samples and every outgoing batch pass through bit-error-rate measurement, temperature verification and plug-in compatibility checks on mainstream switches and routers. Because we are the manufacturer, any issue found in testing is fed back to the production line immediately instead of being passed on to customers.
