Direct Attach Copper (DAC) kábel CBO BN-SP-CBL-5M 5 m SFP+

CBO BN-SP-CBL-5M is a 5-metre Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable with SFP+ connectors designed to provide a short-range, high-speed 10 Gb/s physical link between networking devices. The cable connects SFP+ ports directly without separate optical transceivers, offering low latency and reduced power consumption for rack-to-rack or in-rack interconnects in data centres and server rooms. It is compatible with equipment that accepts SFP+ passive copper cables and is intended for reliable, cost-effective point-to-point connections.

Advantages

The Direct Attach Copper design delivers a low-latency electrical connection with minimal signal conversion overhead. A fixed 5 m length simplifies length planning for typical rack deployment scenarios and avoids the need for additional transceivers, lowering both initial hardware cost and ongoing power draw. SFP+ connectors at both ends ensure a compact form factor and straightforward installation into compatible SFP+ ports. The cable is suitable for high-density environments where predictable short-reach performance and energy efficiency are required.

How to use

Power off or follow hot-plug guidelines for your equipment if recommended by the device manufacturer. Insert each SFP+ connector into the matching SFP+ port on the devices to be linked until the connector latches. Ensure ports are configured for 10 Gb/s operation and that any required link settings or firmware compatibility are satisfied. Monitor link status indicators on both devices to confirm successful negotiation and operation. When removing the cable, release the latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damage to the port or cable.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m DAC cable for short, fixed-length connections where 10 Gb/s performance, low latency and low power consumption are priorities. Verify compatibility with the host devices’ SFP+ passive copper support and avoid routing the cable near high-power or high-EMI sources to maintain signal integrity.
