StarTech SFP10GPC05M 5 m SFP+ Twinax Cable

Keep 10 GbE connectivity direct, predictable, and easy to manage with this 5 m SFP+ direct-attach twinax cable from StarTech. It is built for short-distance interconnects where copper DAC is the right fit: switch-to-server, switch-to-switch, and other in-rack or near-rack deployments that do not require optical modules. The passive twinax copper design helps maintain a straightforward signal path while reducing the parts count in the network stack. At 5 m, it gives you more reach than a 1 m patch while still staying within the practical range for dense enterprise cabinets and adjacent equipment rows. That extra length can make cable routing cleaner when ports are not perfectly aligned. This cable also complies with MSA industry standards, which matters in environments where procurement teams want a known-good interconnect and infrastructure teams need consistent behavior across deployments. For organizations standardizing on SFP+ infrastructure, a direct-attach cable like this is often the more efficient choice than optical alternatives when the run is short and the budget should stay focused on the core network.
