SFP+ -kaapeli BlueOptics SFP-10G-CU5M-BL 5 m uros-uros musta hopea

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-CU5M-BL is a 5 m SFP+ direct attach cable (DAC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for short-distance 10 Gbps electrical links in rack and adjacent-rack environments. This passive twinax copper cable follows MSA guidelines and uses 24 AWG conductors to support 10GBase-CR, Ethernet, FCoE and Fibre Channel or InfiniBand applications up to 10 Gbit/s over a 5 metre span. The cable housing is finished in black and silver and the assembly is intended for use with switches, servers, storage systems and other hardware platforms that accept SFP+ DAC modules.

Advantages

The cable provides a low-latency, low-power passive interconnect that does not require external power or active components, simplifying rack installations and reducing operational cost. Manufactured to industry-standard MSA specifications with high-quality components, it delivers consistent signal integrity for short-range 10 Gbps links while offering robust construction and an expected long operational lifetime. The fixed 5 m length and SFP+ to SFP+ connectors make it straightforward to deploy between adjacent devices without transceivers.

Suitable for

• Direct 10 Gbps connections between switches and servers within racks
• Server-to-storage interconnects in data centers
• Short-distance links across adjacent racks
• Environments supporting 10GBase-CR, Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand protocols

Key specifications

• Length: 5 metres
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: passive twinax copper (DAC), 24 AWG
• Compliance: MSA compatible
• Typical power consumption: passive (no active electronics)
• Colour: black and silver
• Weight: approximately 0.18 kg

How to use

Verify that your network devices officially support passive SFP+ direct attach cables and the relevant transmission protocol (for example 10GBase-CR). With devices powered off or in a safe maintenance state, align and insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it latches. Ensure cable routing avoids sharp bends and mechanical strain on connectors. After connection, power on the devices and confirm link status and negotiated speed in the switch or host interface diagnostics. For troubleshooting, reseat connectors and check device logs or LED indicators to confirm proper recognition.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m passive SFP+ DAC for short, direct 10 Gbps links inside racks or between adjacent racks where MSA-compliant SFP+ ports are supported. Avoid exceeding recommended bend radius and ensure compatibility with device firmware or vendor restrictions that may affect third-party DAC recognition.
