Juniper SFP+ 10GE Active DAC 3M Cable | 10 GbE, Enterprise

Keep 10 GbE links tidy while reaching farther across the rack with Juniper’s SFP+ active direct attach copper cable. The QFX-SFP-DAC-3MA is designed for short-range connectivity where a passive cable may not be the right fit, giving network teams a practical way to connect compatible SFP+ ports with controlled cable management and reduced optical overhead. At 3 m, this cable is well suited to top-of-rack switching, cross-rack patching, and equipment layouts that need a little more slack without moving to fiber. The active DAC design helps support signal integrity over the longer copper run while preserving the simplicity of direct attach cabling. For enterprise data centers, active DAC is often the right middle ground: more reach than a short jumper, less complexity than optics, and a form factor that keeps deployment fast. This model fits environments where port density, rack organization, and predictable short-distance performance all matter.
