Dell 1 Meter SFP28 to SFP28, 25GbE, Passive Copper Twinax Direct Attach Cable

The Dell 470-ACEX is a direct attach cable that links two SFP28 ports over a one meter distance and carries 25 gigabit Ethernet traffic without the need for active components. Built with passive Twinax copper, it draws virtually no power while moving data at line rate.

This cable is a practical choice for short runs inside a rack, between adjacent racks, or within a lab where equipment sits close together. Network administrators often deploy it to connect Dell PowerEdge servers to top-of-rack switches, or to interconnect Dell Networking switches during aggregation. By using copper instead of optics at these distances, you keep costs low and simplify spares management.

Dell engineers qualified the 470-ACEX across a broad range of PowerEdge and Dell Networking platforms, so installation is straightforward. Insert each SFP28 plug, confirm link status on the switch or server, and the connection is ready. The one meter length reduces slack, helping you maintain an organized cable tray and improve airflow.

Durable construction shields the copper conductors against electromagnetic interference, maintaining a stable signal even during peak traffic hours or overnight backups. Field technicians, data center operators, and lab engineers will appreciate the reliability and the quick, tool-free deployment.
