Brocade XBR-TWX-01.5 Compatible 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 1.5m (5ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize XBR-TWX-01.5, this SFP+ to SFP+ cable delivers 10G transmission over a fixed 1.5m (5ft) assembly. Its DAC construction provides a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords.

OEM Part Number: XBR-TWX-01.5HT Part Number: XBR-TWX-01.5

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade XBR-TWX-01.5
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1.5m (5ft), XBR-TWX-01.5
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Maximum power consumption: ≤0.1W
• Minimum bend radius: 23mm

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.

The additional half metre beyond a one-metre assembly gives XBR-TWX-01.5 useful routing flexibility when the ports are not directly aligned. It can accommodate a different rack unit or a short service loop, but excess cable should be dressed loosely rather than folded into a tight coil.

XBR-TWX-01.5 occupies the middle of this family between 10G-SFPP-TWX-P-0101 at 1m (3ft) and 10G-SFPP-TWX-P-0201 at 2m (7ft). 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.

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 assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes XBR-TWX-01.5. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

Use part number XBR-TWX-01.5 for the 1.5m (5ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

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.
