Network Cable HPE X240 10G SFP+ SFP+ DAC 5m Black

The HPE X240 10G SFP+ DAC 5m is a direct-attach copper cable designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit data transmission between networking equipment. With SFP+ connectors on both ends and a 5 meter length, the cable connects switches, servers and storage devices in data centers and server rooms, providing a low-latency, short-reach link in a compact black form factor.

Advantages

The cable offers a straightforward, low-power connection with native SFP+ compatibility for 10G links, simplified cabling for short-distance interconnects, and a fixed 5 m length suited to rack-to-rack or switch-to-server runs. Its passive direct-attach design reduces latency and removes the need for separate transceivers, while the black jacket supports a tidy, professional equipment layout.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit connections between switches
• Server-to-switch links in data centers
• Storage device interconnects within racks
• Short-reach, low-latency networking applications

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Cable type: Direct-attach copper (DAC), passive
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Ensure both ports support SFP+ 10G operation, then insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it latches. Route the 5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain. Configure network interfaces on connected devices as required by your network topology and verify link status through the switch or server management interface.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance, high-speed links inside racks or between adjacent racks; avoid prolonged use in environments requiring active cooling or very long runs, and verify compatibility with your equipment's SFP+ port specifications before deployment.
