Lenovo 5 m Active DAC SFP+ Cable, 10 GbE | Enterprise, Rack Mount

Keep high-speed links short, stable, and easy to manage with Lenovo’s 5 m Active DAC SFP+ cable. Designed for direct attach deployments, it connects SFP+ ports without the added cost and power draw of separate optical transceivers. That makes it a practical fit for top-of-rack switching, adjacent server interconnects, and storage paths where predictable 10 GbE performance matters. The active DAC design is well suited to environments that value signal integrity over longer copper runs within the rack or between nearby racks. Compared with passive alternatives, active cabling helps preserve link quality at 5 m while keeping installation straightforward. For infrastructure teams, that means fewer components to source, fewer points of failure, and cleaner cable management in crowded enclosures. Use it where uptime, density, and serviceability all matter. Lenovo systems benefit from a cable built for direct attach operation, giving you a dependable path for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connectivity without overcomplicating the stack. For procurement teams, it is a targeted spend that supports the performance profile of enterprise 10 GbE fabrics.
