Network cable HUAWEI eKit SFP+STACK-CU0M5 SFP+ to SFP+ 0.5 m Green

HUAWEI eKit SFP+STACK-CU0M5 is a 0.5 m SFP+ to SFP+ direct-attach cable designed for short-reach high-speed connections in data centre environments. The cable provides a straightforward copper-based link with SFP+ connectors on both ends and a green jacket for easy visual identification. It is intended for short interconnects where a compact, low-latency connection between compatible SFP+ ports is required.

Advantages

The HUAWEI SFP+STACK-CU0M5 offers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity in a compact 0.5 m form factor that reduces signal loss compared with longer passive links. The direct-attach SFP+ interface enables plug-and-play installation without the need for separate transceivers, lowering component count and simplifying rack cabling. The green jacket aids quick identification among multiple cables in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in rack and compact data centre setups
• High-speed stacking links between SFP+ compatible network devices
• Interconnects between storage arrays and host adapters requiring SFP+ passive links

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Medium: copper direct attach
• Colour: green jacket for identification
• Designed for short-reach high-speed links in data centre equipment

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ ports of the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch is securely engaged. Verify that both devices are powered and configured to use the SFP+ port for the desired link speed and mode. For best results, connect devices within the same rack or adjacent racks to match the cable's short-reach design. Inspect connectors and ports for debris before insertion and avoid bending the cable sharply.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m SFP+ direct-attach cable for short, high-speed interconnects where low latency and compact cabling are priorities. Avoid using this passive copper cable for long-distance links or as a substitute for active optical transceivers when extended reach or optical isolation is required.
