InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ BlueOptics SRX-SFP-10GE-DAC-5M-BL 5m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SRX-SFP-10GE-DAC-5M-BL is a 5 meter SFP+ direct attach cable (DAC) with male-to-male SFP+ connectors designed for short-range high-speed connections. As a passive twinax copper assembly compliant with common SFP+ MSA interfaces, it supports 10G data rates and is intended for linking devices inside racks or between adjacent racks in data center and networking environments. The cable is blue and optimized for low-latency electrical signal transmission over a 5 m distance.

Advantages

This SFP+ DAC offers a low-power, low-latency physical connection for 10G applications without the need for transceivers, simplifying connectivity and reducing overall system cost. The passive twinax construction provides a straightforward plug-and-play link for devices that support passive DAC modules, while the standardized SFP+ form factor ensures wide interoperability with hardware platforms that accept SFP+ direct attach cables. The 5 m length is suitable for typical in-rack and adjacent-rack connections, minimizing signal loss for short-range use.

How to use

Ensure that both devices support passive SFP+ direct attach cables before installation. Power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your hardware vendor, insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ cage until it latches, and verify link status through the device management interface. Use network diagnostics or performance tools to confirm 10G link negotiation and to monitor latency and error counters after connection.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m passive SFP+ DAC for short-range connections inside racks or between adjacent racks where low latency and low power consumption are priorities. Avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic interference sources and observe bend radius limits typical for twinax assemblies. Confirm device compatibility and firmware support for passive DAC operation to ensure stable 10G links.
