SFP+ Direct Attach Cables for EX Series Switches
Small form-factor pluggable plus transceiver (SFP+) direct attach copper 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 7 m (23 ft), making them ideal
for highly cost-effective networking connectivity within a rack and between adjacent
racks. See Figure 23 on page 118.

Cable Specifications
EX Series switches support SFP+ passive direct attach 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 direct attach cables.
Table 43 on page 118 describes the support for SFP+ passive direct attach cable lengths
on EX Series switches for Junos OS releases.
