SFP+ Cable BlueOptics JNP-SFP-DAC-5M-BL 5m Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-SFP-DAC-5M-BL is a 5 meter SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for short-distance high-speed links in racks and between adjacent racks. This passive twinax copper cable follows MSA guidelines and supports 10GBase-CR electrical signaling for Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications at up to 10 Gbit/s over a 5 m distance. The cable is a compact solution for connecting switches, routers, storage systems and other network equipment that accept SFP+ DACs; it is available in a coral and silver finish and has a weight of approximately 0.18 kg.

Advantages

The passive 10G twinax design provides low latency and low power consumption compared with active optical transceivers. Being MSA-compliant and manufactured from quality components, the cable offers reliable electrical performance and mechanical durability for professional networking environments. Its fixed 5 m length and SFP+ to SFP+ connectors simplify installation in rack environments and reduce clutter compared with longer patching solutions.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links within or between adjacent racks
• High-speed uplinks in data centers and enterprise networks
• Connections for storage systems, SAN fabrics and FCoE deployments
• Short-distance InfiniBand or 10 Gigabit Ethernet links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics JNP-SFP-DAC-5M-BL by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors click into place and that both devices support passive DACs. No additional transceivers or power sources are required for passive operation; once connected and compatible, devices will detect the electrical link and negotiate link speed per supported protocols. Route the cable in the rack to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and secure it to prevent accidental disconnection during maintenance.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m passive SFP+ DAC for short, high-bandwidth interconnections where low latency and low power consumption are priorities. Verify device compatibility with passive DACs in the hardware documentation and test the link after installation. Avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius and do not use the cable in environments where moisture or extreme temperatures are present.
