Product Description

This Cisco SFP-50G-CU2.5M is a direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed data connections over short distances. It is commonly used to link network devices such as switches, servers, or storage systems within racks or across adjacent racks, where low latency and reliable throughput are critical.

Built for data centers and enterprise networks, this cable supports both 25G and 50G Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for environments requiring scalable and efficient connectivity. Network engineers and IT professionals often rely on these cables for cost-effective, straightforward connections without needing additional optical transceivers.

Key Features

  • Delivers robust 25/50G speeds using SFP56 form factor
  • 2.5 meter length ideal for rack-to-rack or in-rack setups
  • Energy-efficient passive copper design
  • Compatible with a range of Cisco switches and devices
  • Low latency connection for performance-critical applications

This cable is typically deployed in data centers where short-range, high-bandwidth connections are frequent. It helps reduce equipment complexity by eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fiber cabling while maintaining signal integrity. In practice, it supports fast data transfer in environments like server farms, storage networks, and high-performance computing clusters.


Use Cases

The Cisco SFP-50G-CU2.5M direct attach copper cable is primarily deployed in data center environments where short-range, high-speed interconnects are essential. It benefits network architects and IT administrators managing high-density rack deployments requiring efficient, low-latency connections between switches and servers.

How It's Used:

  • Connecting top-of-rack switches to storage arrays in virtualization environments to ensure rapid data access.
  • Linking aggregation switches within enterprise IT infrastructure to support high-throughput applications.
  • Establishing direct connections in high-performance computing clusters for low-latency communication.
  • Interfacing between servers and network devices in hyperscale data centers focusing on scalability.
  • Supporting edge computing nodes with dense port requirements where minimizing cabling complexity is critical.

This cable supports operational efficiency by reducing power consumption and space requirements compared to optical transceivers. Its use in dense network topologies enables scalable performance improvements while simplifying cable management in confined data center racks.
