5 m NetApp X6566-5-R6 SFP+ DAC Cable

Build cleaner short-reach links with a 5 m SFP+ direct-attach cable designed for NetApp-compatible deployments. This cable is a practical choice when you need more reach than a patch-length DAC can provide, but still want the simplicity and lower operating cost of copper direct attach instead of optical transceivers. In storage and switching environments, DAC helps keep latency low and deployment straightforward. A single cable handles the connection, reducing the number of components to source, install, and support. That matters in dense racks where cable management, airflow, and serviceability all affect day-to-day operations. The 5 m length gives teams more placement flexibility for adjacent racks, side-by-side cabinets, and structured cable paths that need a little extra slack. TAA compliance also makes it suitable for procurement environments with sourcing requirements tied to government or regulated purchasing programs. For teams standardizing on SFP+ infrastructure, this cable offers a balanced mix of reach, simplicity, and purchasing alignment.
