Small form-factor pluggable plus transceiver (SFP+) direct attach copper (DAC) cables,
also known as Twinax cables, are suitable for in-rack connections between servers and
switches. They are suitable for short distances of up to 23 ft (7 m), making them ideal
for highly cost-effective networking connectivity within a rack and between adjacent
racks. See Figure 16 on page

Standards Supported by These Cables on page 95
EX Series switches support SFP+ passive DAC cables. The passive Twinax cable is a
straight cable with no active electronic components. EX Series switches support 1 m,
3 m, 5 m, and 7 m long SFP+ passive DAC cables. For the full specifications of these
cables, see
The Hardware Compatibility Tool
Table 43 on page 91 describes the support for SFP+ passive DAC cable lengths on
EX Series switches for Junos OS releases.
