BlueOptics SFP-10G-DAC-0.5M-RU 0.5m SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable - Black - 10 Gbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-DAC-0.5M-RU is a high-performance 0.5-meter SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable, designed for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and enterprise networks. This passive twinax cable assembly offers low power consumption and hot-swappable convenience, making it an ideal solution for short-range, high-speed interconnects.

Advantages

This DAC cable provides a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to fiber optic transceivers for short-distance links. With a passive design, it consumes less than 0.5W and requires no external power. The male-to-male SFP+ connectors ensure a secure, plug-and-play connection, reducing deployment time and complexity.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnect (rack-to-rack, server-to-switch)
• High-speed storage area networks
• Enterprise network backbone links
• Telecommunications equipment
