Intel XDACBL1M Compatible 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 1m (3ft)

This 1m (3ft) DAC cable is built for Intel equipment requiring the XDACBL1M interface. The 10Gbps link uses SFP+ to SFP+ and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

OEM Part Number: XDACBL1MHT Part Number: XDACBL1M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Intel XDACBL1M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), XDACBL1M
• 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.

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.

At 1m (3ft), XDACBL1M 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.

XDACBL1M occupies the middle of this family between XDACBL0.5M at 0.5m (2ft) and XDACBL1.5M at 1.5m (5ft). 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 HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with XDACBL1M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 1m (3ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Intel software can request a pre-order check.

This product is ordered as XDACBL1M in 1m (3ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, XDACBL1M and the 1m (3ft) length for easier inventory control.

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.
