HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-10G-C3M Compatible 3M 10G SFP+ Passive Twinax DAC Copper Cable for Alcatel-Lucent Network Hardware
Product Overview
HYTOPTODEVICE produces pin-to-pin fully equivalent replacement for original Alcatel-Lucent SFP-10G-C3M passive SFP+ twinax DAC. Both cable terminals are factory pre-programmed with exclusive Alcatel-Lucent customized EEPROM data to achieve native plug-and-play without firmware upgrade or unrecognized-port alarms on genuine Alcatel enterprise switches and data center platforms.
This 3-meter medium-reach passive DAC strictly follows SFF-8431, SFF-8432 MSA & IEEE 10GBase-CU industry specifications, built with high-shield pure copper twinax structure. As a passive copper solution, no built-in monitoring chip so DDM/DOM diagnostic function is unavailable; only basic EEPROM identity data is stored for equipment identification. With ultra-low power consumption and stable low-latency 10G transmission, it is purposely designed for medium-distance cross-rack interconnection in carrier-grade IDC and enterprise server rooms.
All finished SFP-10G-C3M equivalent DAC goes through strict compatibility aging testing before delivery. As professional Alcatel-Lucent compatible cabling manufacturer, HYTOPTODEVICE supports bulk wholesale discount, private label OEM and alternative custom lengths to satisfy diversified network renovation requirements.

Full Compatibility List & Supported Devices
1.Native Supported Alcatel-Lucent Hardware
Pre-flashed Alcatel exclusive EEPROM ensures seamless native identification on Alcatel OmniSwitch series, enterprise routing switches and SFP+ equipped rack servers without manual configuration adjustment or port error prompts.
-
Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Enterprise Switches: Fully compatible with stackable and core platforms, including the OmniSwitch 6860, 6900, 9900, and 6865 Series switches equipped with 10GbE slots.
-
Alcatel-Lucent Carrier Ethernet Switches: Optimized for access and aggregation layers using the OmniSwitch 6855 and select service router interfaces.
2.Cross-Brand Multi-Vendor Compatibility
Complying with universal SFP+ MSA standard, SFP-10G-C3M works reliably with SFP+ port switches and server NIC from Cisco, HPE, Arista, Brocade, Juniper and Dell for multi-vendor mixed network construction.
Primary Application Scenarios for SFP-10G-C3M 3M Passive DAC
1.Medium-Distance Cross-Rack Carrier & Enterprise Interconnection
Optimal for medium-span rack-to-rack 10G links inside carrier data centers and enterprise computer rooms, more cost-efficient than fiber cabling for short-to-medium fixed wiring.
2.Long-Span In-Rack Switch-to-Server Cabling
Connect top-of-rack Alcatel switches to deep-mounted server SFP+ NICs where 3-meter cable length is needed for neat internal cabinet routing.
3.Cost-Saving Network Upgrade for SMB & ISP Operators
Replace expensive original Alcatel OEM DAC or optical transceiver+fiber set with economical HYTOPTODEVICE compatible cable to cut overall project CAPEX.
Connectivity Solutions(Applications) for HYTOPTODEVICE compatible 10G DAC
1.Medium cross-rack interconnection between two Alcatel SFP+ switches via HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-10G-C3M 3M passive twinax DAC

2.Alcatel rack switch directly links to server SFP+ network interface card with 3M SFP-10G-C3M passive DAC:

Frequently Asked Questions About HYTOPTODEVICE Compatible 10G SFP+DAC Cable
Q1: Is HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-10G-C3M fully plug-and-play on original Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch?
A: Yes, prewritten Alcatel proprietary EEPROM enables direct hot plug without firmware update or compatibility warning on authentic Alcatel equipment.
Q2: Does SFP-10G-C3M passive DAC support DDM/DOM real-time operational monitoring?
A: No, passive twinax design excludes monitoring circuit and chip; only basic PN and speed info saved inside EEPROM. Choose active DAC if DDM monitoring function is required.
Q3: What is fixed physical length of Alcatel compatible SFP-10G-C3M DAC?
A: Standard fixed length is 3 meter for medium cross-rack deployment; HYTOPTODEVICE stocks optional 0.5M/1M/2M/5M alternative DAC on bulk demand.
Q4: Can SFP-10G-C3M connect non-Alcatel SFP+ switches and third-party server NIC?
A: Absolutely, full SFP+ MSA compliance guarantees universal interoperability with all mainstream SFP+ interface network devices across multiple brands.
Q5: What core cost advantages choosing HYTOPTODEVICE vs genuine Alcatel SFP-10G-C3M OEM cable?
A: Identical compatibility and transmission performance as OEM, 38%~56% lower bulk purchase cost, in-stock fast global delivery and dedicated factory aftersales technical support.
Q6: Does SFP-10G-C3M support hot swap on powered-running Alcatel switches and servers?
A: Designed per standard SFP+ hot-plug specification, safe plug/unplug without shutting down active network hardware.
Q7: How much power consumption of passive SFP-10G-C3M twinax DAC?
A: Power draw below 0.1W per end connector, ultra energy-saving for large-scale carrier IDC deployment.
Q8: Standard operating temperature range for regular indoor data center environment?
A: Commercial working range:0℃~70℃; customized wide-temperature industrial DAC available upon large OEM bulk order for non-air-conditioned harsh cabinet.
