SFP28 DAC kábel CBO MCP2M00-A005E26L-BL 5 m samec na samec 25 Gbit/s

Direct attach copper (DAC) SFP28 cable by BlueOptics, model MCP2M00-A005E26L-BL, is a 5 m male-to-male cable engineered for 25 Gbit/s short-reach connections. The cable combines SFP28 electrical interfaces in a fixed copper assembly to deliver low-latency, power-efficient links between switches, network interface cards (NICs) and servers within racks and adjacent racks. Its design targets data center topologies where high throughput and minimal latency are required without the cost or power overhead of optical transceivers.

Advantages

The SFP28 DAC cable offers native 25 Gbit/s throughput with low insertion loss and reduced power consumption compared to active optical alternatives. Its passive copper construction ensures predictable latency and reliable signal integrity for short distances, while the fixed-male SFP28 connectors simplify installation and reduce points of failure. The 5 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or switch-to-server connections and supports hot-plug insertion for quick maintenance.

Suitable for

• High-speed switch-to-switch interconnects within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch or server-to-NIC connections requiring 25 Gbit/s bandwidth
• Top-of-rack deployments in data centers and enterprise server rooms
• Environments prioritizing low latency and low power consumption for short links

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 male-to-male
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s
• Length: 5 m
• Media: direct attach copper (DAC)
• Latency: low, suitable for high-performance switching and compute
• Power: passive copper design with minimal power draw compared to active optics
• Compatibility: designed for equipment with SFP28 ports supporting DAC modules

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your switches, NICs or servers until the latch engages. Ensure that both devices support DAC SFP28 cables and are configured for 25 Gbit/s operation where required. No external power or transceiver modules are needed; the cable functions as a direct electrical link. For best results, route the cable to avoid tight bends and electromagnetic interference sources, and verify link status through device management interfaces after insertion.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m SFP28 DAC cable for short-reach links in rack and row-level deployments. Confirm port compatibility and firmware support on connected devices, avoid excessive bending radius, and keep the cable away from high-power electrical sources to maintain optimal signal integrity.
