Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-5M 10Gb SFP+ DAC

Keep high-speed links simple, direct, and predictable with the Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-5M twinaxial network cable. Designed for SFP+ network connections, this passive direct attach cable supports 10.5 Gbit/s data transfer across a 16.40 ft run, making it a practical choice for short-reach interconnects inside the rack or between adjacent enclosures. Passive DACs are often selected when teams want to reduce cost, power draw, and complexity compared with optical transceivers and separate fiber assemblies. This cable is well suited for tightly controlled data center environments where short-distance 10 Gb connectivity is required and link behavior needs to stay consistent. With SFP+ connectors on both ends and support for network devices, it fits common switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, and appliance-to-switch deployments. The cable’s twinaxial construction is designed for direct attach use cases where dependable throughput matters more than distance. For infrastructure teams standardizing on Palo Alto hardware, it offers a clean, purpose-built interconnect that aligns with enterprise rack design and operational efficiency.
