Cable DAC SFP+ CBO BN-SP-CBL-5M-IB 5 m compatible con BlueLAN

The DAC SFP+ cable CBO BN-SP-CBL-5M-IB 5 m compatible BlueLAN is a pre-terminated Direct Attach Copper (DAC) assembly for short-reach 10Gbps connections between SFP+ ports. With a fixed 5 meter length, this passive twinax cable provides a low-latency, low-power and cost-effective physical link for switches, servers and storage hardware in rack and data center environments. The cable is intended for environments where a reliable, ready-to-install 10Gbps-class connection is required without the need for separate transceivers.

Advantages

This DAC SFP+ cable delivers consistent 10Gbps performance with minimal signal loss over its 5 m length and requires no additional transceivers, reducing overall deployment cost and complexity. The pre-terminated connectors simplify installation and ensure compatibility with SFP+ ports that accept standard twinax assemblies. The passive copper construction results in low latency and lower power consumption compared with active optical solutions for short distances.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the DAC SFP+ cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the retention latch engages. Ensure that both devices support passive DAC twinax assemblies and that ports are powered down or following hot-plug guidelines from the equipment manufacturer if required. Verify link status via device LEDs or management interface after installation and monitor for proper negotiation of 10Gbps operation.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m DAC SFP+ cable for short-distance, high-throughput links inside racks and between adjacent racks. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable; maintain bend radius recommended for twinax assemblies and keep the cable away from sources of mechanical stress and high electromagnetic interference. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor’s supported list for passive SFP+ DACs to ensure link reliability.
