SFP-50G-CU5M Cisco 25/50GbE SFP56 5m Direct Attach Copper Cable

This 5-meter Cisco SFP-50G-CU5M is a direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed 25G and 50G data connections. It provides a reliable and cost-effective link for short-range data transfer between switches, servers, and storage devices.

Commonly used in data centers and enterprise networks, this cable is built for environments that demand fast and stable interconnects without the complexity of optical transceivers. IT professionals and network administrators often deploy it to simplify cabling and reduce power consumption.

Key Features

• Supports 25/50GBASE Ethernet at up to 50Gbps bandwidth
• Direct attach copper construction minimizes signal loss over short distances
• Fully compatible with SFP56 ports for seamless integration
• Designed for plug-and-play use, requiring no additional setup
• Energy efficient with lower power draw compared to optical modules

This cable is typically found connecting network switches and servers within racks or adjacent racks, where runs are short and cost-efficiency is important. It offers a straightforward solution for high-speed link requirements without additional transceiver hardware.

By using this DAC cable, organizations benefit from reduced latency and lower heat generation, helping maintain optimal network performance in dense data center environments.
