Cable DAC BlueOptics DAC-5M 5 m SFP+ conector macho a conector macho SFP+ Negro

The BlueOptics DAC-5M 5m SFP+ Male to SFP+ Male is a 5‑meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable engineered for high-speed short-reach interconnects. With SFP+ terminations on both ends, the cable supports low-latency, high-throughput links between switches, servers and storage appliances in rack and data centre environments. Its robust jacket and molded connectors provide mechanical stability and predictable electrical performance for 10Gbps class connections over a fixed short distance.

Advantages

This DAC cable delivers reliable 10 Gigabit connectivity with minimal power consumption and near-zero configuration complexity compared with optical transceivers and fibre. Its fixed length and integrated connectors reduce insertion points and simplify cable management in dense rack deployments. The copper construction offers consistent signal integrity for short links and eliminates the need for separate transceivers, helping to control total system cost where short-reach copper interconnects are suitable.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics DAC-5M by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking equipment until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered and ports are enabled in accordance with your switch or server configuration. No additional transceivers or patch panels are required when using this direct attach cable; verify duplex and speed settings on connected devices if link negotiation does not occur automatically. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain bend radius recommended for copper assemblies.

Recommendations

Use this 5m DAC cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid outdoor use and exposure to liquids; keep the cable within the recommended bend radius and secure it to prevent strain on connectors. Check compatibility with your hardware vendor's SFP+ ports if the environment requires vendor-locked transceiver policies.
