The TP-Link SM5220-3M is a 3 metre 10G SFP+ direct attach cable (DAC), also listed as TL-SM5220-3M. It has a 10G SFP+ connector on both sides, a 10 Gbps data rate and silver-plated copper conductors, and drives 10 Gigabit Ethernet over 3 m. Each plug measures 57.5 x 13.55 x 8.55 mm and the overall length is 3,000 mm. Operating temperature is 0 to 70 degrees C. TP-Link lists the SM5220-3M as a direct attach cable for Omada SFP+ switches including the SG3428X-M2, SG3428XMP, SG3452XMPP, SG3428XF, SG5452X and SX3206HPP. TP-Link notes that the ER7212PC gateway's SFP port does not support direct attach cables.

The TP-Link SM5220-3M (also listed as TL-SM5220-3M) is a 3 metre 10G SFP+ direct attach cable. It has an SFP+ connector permanently fitted at each end, carries 10 Gbps over silver-plated copper conductors, and drives 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a 3 m distance. TP-Link lists it as a direct attach cable option for its Omada SFP+ switches, which makes it a simple way to link two switches, or a switch and a server, in the same rack.

SM5220-3M overview

The SM5220-3M is TP-Link's 3 metre 10G SFP+ direct attach cable; TP-Link's Australian page lists it as SM5220-3M (TL-SM5220-3M), hardware version V1. A direct attach cable combines two SFP+ connectors and the cable between them in one assembly: on the SM5220-3M there is a 10G SFP+ connector on both sides, and TP-Link states that it drives 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a 3 m distance. Because the connectors are part of the cable, there are no separate SFP+ transceivers or patch leads to buy, match and fit for a short link. The conductors are silver-plated copper and the data rate is 10 Gbps.

Physically, each plug measures 57.5 x 13.55 x 8.55 mm (2.26 x 0.53 x 0.34 in), and the overall length is 3,000 mm (118.11 in). The maximum cable length is 3 m, which suits connections within one rack or between neighbouring racks: for example, a 10G uplink from an access switch to an aggregation switch mounted a few units above it, or a link from a switch to a server or NAS with an SFP+ port. TP-Link rates it for operation from 0 to 70 degrees C and storage from -40 to 80 degrees C, with 10% to 90% operating humidity and 5% to 90% storage humidity, both non-condensing. For a shorter run, TP-Link also lists the SM5220-1M, a 1 metre 10G SFP+ direct attach cable.

TP-Link lists the SM5220-3M in the Direct Attach Cable accessory tables of the datasheets for many of its Omada switches with 10G SFP+ slots. These include the Access Pro 2.5G switches SG2210XMP-M2, SG3210XHP-M2, SG3218XP-M2, SG3428X-M2 and SG3428XPP-M2; the Access Plus Gigabit switches SG3428X, SG3428XMP, SG3428XMPP, SG3452X, SG3452XP and SG3452XMPP; the SG3428XF aggregation switch; the SX3206HPP 10GE switch; and the Stackable Lite L3 switches SG5452X, SG5428XF, SG5428XMPP and SG5452XMPP. Pairing any two of these switches over their SFP+ slots with an SM5220-3M gives a 10 Gbps link with no extra optics.

There is one documented exception worth knowing before you order. TP-Link's datasheet for the ER7212PC Omada gateway states that its SFP port does not support direct attach cable connections, including the SM5220-1M (TL-SM5220-1M) and SM5220-3M (TL-SM5220-3M). If the far end of your link is a device whose SFP or SFP+ port does not accept DACs, or the run is longer than 3 m, use SFP+ transceivers and fibre instead. TP-Link does not list package contents beyond the cable on the AU product page.
