Panduit PSF1PZA3MRD Sfp+ 10GIG Direct Attach Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT PSF1PZA3MRD is an SFP+ 10GIG direct attach passive cable designed for high-speed network interconnects in structured cabling and data infrastructure applications. This type of assembly integrates SFP+ transceivers directly onto a twinaxial copper cable, eliminating the need for separate optical modules in short-reach connections. The result is a lower-latency, lower-power interconnect solution commonly specified for top-of-rack and inter-switch links operating at 10 gigabits per second. Network technicians and structured cabling installers work with this type of cable in both enterprise and data center environments.

Direct attach passive cables of this type are suited for short-distance connections between switches, servers, and storage equipment within the same rack or adjacent racks. They are commonly deployed in data centers, server rooms, and high-density network closets where 10GIG SFP+ ports are standard. Installation is performed by qualified network technicians or licensed low-voltage contractors. This assembly is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• SFP+ form factor supports 10 gigabit per second data rates
• Passive copper twinaxial construction requires no active optical components
• Direct attach design reduces latency compared to fiber-optic transceiver pairs
• Lower power consumption than active optical cable assemblies
• Integrated transceiver ends eliminate separate module procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style direct attach passive cable for use with 10GIG SFP+ ports on compatible switches, servers, and network interface cards. Verify host-side compatibility lists before installation.

Installation Notes

This cable is installed by qualified network technicians or low-voltage cabling contractors. Ensure both host devices are powered down or that the relevant SFP+ ports are administratively disabled before seating or removing the cable. Insert the assembly firmly until the latch clicks; do not force the connector. Consult TIA-568 and applicable local codes for structured cabling installation requirements.
