CBO SFP+ Direct Attach -kuparikaapeli SFP-10G-DAC5M-BL 5 m passiivinen

The CBO SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable SFP-10G-DAC5M-BL 5 m passive is a 5-metre copper twin-ax cable designed for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between SFP+ ports. It enables a direct electrical connection between compatible switches, servers and storage devices without separate optical transceivers. This passive SFP+ DAC provides a low-latency, cost-effective and energy-efficient link for rack-to-rack and top-of-rack installations where multimode or fiber transceivers are unnecessary.

Advantages

This passive direct attach cable reduces system power consumption by eliminating the need for active optical transceivers, while offering low latency and predictable signal behaviour for short-reach links. The integrated SFP+ connectors simplify installation and lower total cost of ownership for data centre interconnects. The fixed 5 m length is suitable for typical rack-to-rack distances and helps maintain neat cable management in densely packed network racks.

Key specifications

How to use

Power down equipment if required by the device vendor, then insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your switch, server or storage device until the latch engages. Verify that both ends are fully seated and that port LEDs indicate an active link. Configure the network interfaces on connected devices according to your switch and server settings for 10 Gigabit operation. For hot-pluggable systems that support DAC insertion without shutdown, follow the vendor’s hot-swap guidance.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m passive SFP+ DAC for short, direct copper connections in rack environments. Avoid running the cable near high sources of electromagnetic interference and maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the equipment vendor to preserve signal integrity and cable lifespan.
