Brocade XBR-TWX-0101 Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Copper Twinax Cable, 1m (3ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize XBR-TWX-0101, this SFP+ to SFP+ cable delivers 10G transmission over a fixed 1m (3ft) assembly. Its ACC construction provides an actively conditioned copper link for the stated high-speed interface.

OEM Part Number: XBR-TWX-0101HT Part Number: XBR-TWX-0101

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade XBR-TWX-0101
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), XBR-TWX-0101
• Cable construction: Active Twinax
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Maximum power consumption: ≤0.5W
• Minimum bend radius: 23mm

The rated power consumption is ≤0.5W. 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 intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. 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.

At 1m (3ft), XBR-TWX-0101 is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

XBR-TWX-0101 is the shortest of 5 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is XBR-TWX-0301 at 3m (10ft), adding 2m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

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.

Each XBR-TWX-0101 compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended Brocade platform should be included with the order.

Use part number XBR-TWX-0101 for the 1m (3ft) 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.
