The IBM 72X5645 is a 4-port twinax workstation cable assembly designed for high-speed SFP+ connectivity in enterprise environments. This refurbished cable supports direct-attach copper (DAC) interconnection at distances up to 7 meters, enabling cost-effective short-range links between switches, servers, and storage arrays without the need for active components or optical transceivers. The twinax construction provides shielding for signal integrity in dense, high-interference server room deployments. Typical applications include data center fabric upgrades, server-to-switch uplinks, and storage area network (SAN) configurations where passive copper solutions are preferred. The 4x passive design allows deployment in mixed environments supporting 10GbE and higher-speed protocols. Tested and guaranteed, available via quote.
