Network Cable MaxLink ML-DACS+05 SFP+ DAC Passive DDM 0.5m

The MaxLink ML-DACS+05 is a 0.5 m passive SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable supporting 10 Gbps data rates and equipped with DDM for monitoring. Designed for short-distance high-speed interconnects, this SFP+ module cable is compatible with many network devices and provides low-latency, reliable connectivity for rack-to-rack and within-rack links.

Advantages

This passive SFP+ DAC offers a compact 0.5 m form factor that reduces latency and power consumption compared to active optical transceivers. Built-in DDM enables real-time monitoring of link parameters such as temperature and signal integrity. The cable is compatible with common SFP+ ports and is intended for straightforward plug-and-play installation in data center and enterprise network equipment.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centers
• Short-distance links between switches and servers
• High-speed connections for top-of-rack (ToR) switches
• Environments requiring 10G SFP+ ports with passive DAC
