Also known as Direct Attach (DA), 10GSFP+Cu, 10GBASE-CR, 10GBASE-CX1, SFP+, or 10GbE Cu SFP cables. Direct Attach Cables uses a passive twin-ax cable assembly and connects directly into an SFP+ housing.
SFP+ Direct Attach Cables have a fixed-length cable, typically 1 to 7 m (passive cables) or up to 15 m (active cables) in length, and, like 10GBASE-CX4, is low-power, low-cost, and low-latency with the added advantages of using less bulky cables and of having the small form factor of SFP+.
