- SFP+ connectors at both ends for broad compatibility
- Maintains full 10 Gbps throughput across 3 metre span
- Zero active electronics — no power consumption or latency penalty
- Durable copper construction for repeated disconnection/reconnection
- Suitable for data centre and high-density networking environments
Specifications
- Connector A: SFP+ Male
- Connector B: SFP+ Male
- Length: 3 m
- Speed: 10 Gbps
- Type: Passive Twin-Axial (Copper)
- Color: Black
- Weight: 0.45 kg

FAQ
At 3 metres, is the signal degradation significant?
No, passive DAC technology remains reliable up to 5 metres for 10 Gbps; this 3-metre variant sits well within the performance envelope.
Can I use this cable for longer runs?
For distances exceeding 5 metres, TP-Link recommends active DAC or optical fibre transceivers to ensure signal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much farther does the 3-metre version extend compared to shorter DACs?
The TXC432-CU3M allows 10 Gbps connectivity between adjacent racks or cabinet pairs up to 3 metres apart, offering significantly more reach than shorter cables while remaining passive.
When would I choose this over active transceivers for longer links?
If your cabinets are within 3 metres, this passive cable delivers full 10 Gbps with no power consumption, lower cost, and lower latency than active equipment.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or exposed installations?
This cable is designed for indoor datacenter and cabinet environments; for outdoor or exposed use, consult Procure.ae about shielding and environmental protection.
Can this cable be bundled with other cables without signal loss?
Passive DAC cables are robust against minor bundling; however, ensure proper ventilation around cable runs and avoid tying them too tightly to prevent heat buildup.
What equipment must I have on both ends?
Both connection points must have SFP+ ports, such as TP-Link switches with the TX432 module, network interface cards (NICs), or other SFP+-equipped devices.
How durable is this cable in a high-vibration environment?
The twin-axial passive copper construction provides excellent durability and shielding against electromagnetic interference in busy datacenters.
What is the delivery timeframe for this 3M cable in the GCC?
Availability varies; contact Procure.ae for current stock and delivery timescales to your location.
Does Procure.ae provide support for integrating this cable into existing networks?
Procure.ae is available to advise on compatibility and setup; reach out to discuss your network topology and installation requirements.
What does this TXC432-CU3M cable provide?
This is a 3-metre passive 10G SFP+ direct-attach cable, extending high-speed connectivity across adjacent server racks and cabinets while eliminating active electronics overhead.
Are both ends fitted with SFP+ connectors?
Yes, this cable terminates with SFP+ connectors on both ends, ready to plug into compatible ports without additional adapters.
How does the 3-metre length compare to typical datacentre cabinet spacing?
Three metres allows bridging of adjacent or nearby racks in standard datacenters; consult your facility layout to confirm this cable length suits your setup.
