Lenovo 00AY765

Overview

The Lenovo 00AY765 is a 2-meter passive direct-attach copper (DAC) cable designed to connect SFP+ network ports within a single rack. It provides a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for 10 Gb short-reach interconnects by eliminating the need for optical transceivers. This cable supports high-density environments by reducing power consumption and thermal output, making it well suited for data centers, enterprise wiring closets, and lab setups.

Key features

• Passive twinax design that lowers power draw by letting connected devices handle signal conditioning
• Hot-pluggable SFP+ modules with integrated latching clips for fast and tool-free installation or replacement
• Flexible twinax conductors along the full 2-meter length for easy routing through crowded cable trays
• Lightweight assembly weighing only 4.23 ounces, reducing strain on ports and equipment
• Red PVC jacket that resists abrasion and provides clear visual identification during audits or maintenance
• Compatible with a wide range of switches, servers, and storage devices equipped with SFP+ ports

Key specs

• Cable length: 2 meters (6.56 feet)
• Connector type: SFP+ modules on both ends
• Cable type: Passive twinax copper
• Weight: 4.23 ounces
• Jacket material: Red PVC for abrasion resistance and visibility

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to link devices equipped with SFP+ ports, such as top-of-rack switches, servers, and storage arrays. Its passive design ensures compatibility with a broad range of equipment that supports 10 Gb Ethernet over SFP+ interfaces. The hot-pluggable connectors simplify maintenance and upgrades without disrupting network operations.

Ideal uses and environments

The Lenovo 00AY765 fits well in environments where short-distance, high-speed connections are needed within a rack. It is a strong choice for data centers aiming to reduce power consumption and heat generation, as well as for enterprise wiring closets and lab setups requiring reliable 10 Gb interconnects. This cable works well for linking top-of-rack switches to servers, connecting storage arrays, or building low-latency cluster backbones.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
