Cable InfiniBand/fibra óptica 5 m MikroTik S+AO0005

5m SFP+ 10Gbps Active Optics direct attach cable designed for short-distance connections between SFP/SFP+ ports. The cable provides a cost-effective optical link for connecting devices within the same rack or across adjacent racks, supporting 10 Gbps data rate over a 5 meter reach. It is compatible with all products that have SFP/SFP+ ports and is suitable for modern routers and switches requiring active optical direct attach connectivity.

Advantages

The active optics design reduces signal loss over short runs and allows reliable 10Gbps transmission while remaining more economical than separate transceivers plus fiber. The 5 meter length is optimized for intra-rack and adjacent-rack deployment. Compatibility with a wide range of SFP/SFP+ ports ensures easy installation and interoperability with existing network equipment.

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Length: 5 m
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Type: Active Optics direct attach cable
• Use case: Intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections
• Compatibility: Works with devices that have SFP/SFP+ ports (including RB4011 series)

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the SFP/SFP+ port of the two devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors click securely. No separate transceivers or fiber patch cables are required. Verify link status on both devices and configure network settings as needed for 10Gbps operation.

Recommendations

Use this active optics DAC for short connections up to 5 m inside or between adjacent racks. Do not substitute with passive DACs if the device manufacturer specifies active optics—note that RB4011 series require active optics and are not compatible with certain passive direct attach cables.
