CBO DAC SFP+ SFN8000-5 5 m direct-attach copper cable for SFP+ ports

CBO DAC SFP+ SFN8000-5 is a 5-meter direct-attach copper cable built for SFP+ ports to deliver reliable 10GbE connections over short distances. The cable provides a low-latency, low-power physical link between compatible SFP+ devices and is intended for use in rack environments and data centers where cost-efficient, high-speed connectivity is required. Its passive copper construction supports standard SFP+ electrical interfaces and is suitable for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch and storage networking within the same rack or adjacent racks.

Advantages

The direct-attach copper design offers a fixed, ready-to-use connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing total cost and simplifying installation. With a 5 m length the cable affords flexibility for common rack topologies while maintaining signal integrity for 10 Gbps links. Low power consumption and minimal latency make it appropriate for dense deployments and latency-sensitive traffic. The SFP+ form-factor ensures compatibility with network equipment that supports SFP+ copper interconnects.

Suitable for

• Direct server-to-switch connections in rack environments
• Switch-to-switch interconnects within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Storage area network links and direct-attached storage (DAS) connections
• High-density patching in data center top-of-rack deployments

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ copper direct-attach
• Length: 5 meters
• Supported data rate: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Transmission medium: Copper (passive DAC)
• Typical use range: short-reach interconnects within racks or adjacent racks
• Power profile: low power consumption compared with optical transceivers

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ end into the SFP+ port of the devices to be connected until the latch engages. Verify that connected equipment supports SFP+ passive copper modules and that port settings (speed/duplex) are configured for 10 Gbps operation if required. No additional transceivers or fiber patching are necessary; the cable provides a single-step physical link. Monitor link status via device management interfaces to confirm a successful connection.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable, maintain recommended bend radius for copper DAC assemblies, and route the cable to minimize interference from power and high-frequency sources. Use this 5 m DAC where equipment is located in the same rack or neighboring racks; for longer distances consider active DACs or optical solutions.
