Brocade XBR-TWX-0301 Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Copper Twinax Cable, 3m (10ft)

With a fixed 3m (10ft) cable and SFP+ to SFP+, the XBR-TWX-0301 compatible assembly simplifies 10G deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for Brocade equipment.

OEM Part Number: XBR-TWX-0301HT Part Number: XBR-TWX-0301

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade XBR-TWX-0301
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 3m (10ft), XBR-TWX-0301
• 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.

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 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 3m (10ft), this assembly can bridge non-aligned ports or adjacent racks while remaining a single direct-attach link. Support longer horizontal runs with suitable cable management and preserve space for cooling and future maintenance.

XBR-TWX-0301 occupies the middle of this family between XBR-TWX-0101 at 1m (3ft) and XBR-TWX-0501 at 5m (16ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

Compatibility is more than matching the SFP+ to SFP+ shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting XBR-TWX-0301 and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

Quote HT part number XBR-TWX-0301 with the required quantity. The 3m (10ft) 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.

Every XBR-TWX-0301 compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 3m (10ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
