The Arista CAB-SFP-SFP-5M is a 5-meter passive direct attach copper (DAC) twinax cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between SFP+ transceivers. Part number CAB-SFP-SFP-5M supports point-to-point links at 10Gbps without active signal conditioning, making it suitable for short-reach data center and enterprise switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections. The cable features dual SFP+ connectors and operates over copper twinax construction for cost-effective performance compared to optical alternatives.
This cable integrates with Arista switches and compatible third-party equipment supporting SFP+ interfaces, including most enterprise-class 10GbE infrastructure. Typical deployments include top-of-rack (ToR) interconnects, storage appliance connections, and intra-datacenter backbone runs within the 5-meter distance specification. Passive DAC cables eliminate the power and latency overhead of active components while providing reliable signal integrity at 10Gbps.
