Lenovo 2M Passive DAC SFP+ Cable

The Lenovo 00AY765 is a 2 m passive direct-attach copper cable that links SFP+ network ports within a single rack while avoiding the cost, latency, and power demands of optical transceivers.

Each end terminates in an SFP+ module that is hot pluggable and features an integrated latching clip, so technicians can install or replace the cable quickly without additional tools. Twinax conductors remain flexible along the full 6.56 ft length, which makes routing through crowded trays straightforward.

The passive design lets the connected devices handle signal conditioning, keeping power use low and thermal output minimal in high-density environments. The assembly weighs only 4.23 oz, and a red PVC jacket resists abrasion while providing an unmistakable visual trace during audits or maintenance.

This cable is a natural fit for data centers, enterprise wiring closets, and lab setups where short-reach 10 Gb interconnects are common. Use it to link a top-of-rack switch to a server, connect storage arrays, or build a low-latency cluster backbone.
