The 3M Cable Assembly for SFP+ Applications is a passive copper cable assembly

which utilizes 3MTM Twin Axial Cable technology to create a highly-flexible, foldable,

high-performance solution, with up to 10 Gbps for storage, networking, high-

performance computing and data center applications.

The unique 3M core cable technology allows 3M cable assemblies to be extremely

low profile and lightweight while virtually eliminating high-frequency resonance,

allowing the cable to fold and bend with minimal to no impact on performance. The

cable’s very small bend radius enables efficient routing in tight spaces to achieve even

greater density and help improve airflow.

3M passive copper cable assemblies for SFP+ applications are cost-effective I/O

solutions offering excellent routability, low power and low latency.
