Panduit PSF1PZA3MBU Sfp Plus 10gbe Direct Attach Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT PSF1PZA3MBU is a direct attach passive cable designed for SFP Plus 10-gigabit Ethernet connections. This type of cable assembly provides a fixed, copper-based link between two SFP Plus ports without requiring active electronic components, keeping signal transmission simple and power consumption low. It is used in data networking environments where short-reach, high-speed connections are needed between switches, servers, or storage equipment. Network technicians and structured cabling installers are the primary trades who handle installation of direct attach cable assemblies.

Direct attach passive cables are a common choice in top-of-rack and intra-rack networking deployments where port-to-port distances are short. This assembly is sold as a single unit and is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networking closets that require 10GbE connectivity between compatible SFP Plus ports. It eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords in applicable short-run scenarios.

Key Features

• SFP Plus interface for 10-gigabit Ethernet connectivity
• Passive design with no active electronics, reducing power draw
• Direct attach copper construction for short-reach rack-level connections
• Single-unit packaging for individual port replacement or expansion

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style direct attach cable for use with SFP Plus 10GbE ports on compatible networking switches, servers, and storage devices.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified network technicians or structured cabling professionals. Power down or administratively disable the host port before seating or removing the cable assembly where port hot-swap is not supported by the host equipment. Handle the SFP Plus connectors carefully to avoid damage to the latch mechanism, and ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends that could affect signal integrity. Follow applicable data center cabling standards during installation.
