Short SFP+ direct attach cable with black connectors

StarTech SFP+ Direct Attach Cable 0.5 m 1.6

SKU CH-61DS-WVDTM

Connects SFP+ equipment over 0.5 m with MSA-compliant 10 Gbps performance

  • MSA compliant design ensures broad switch compatibility

  • SFP+ direct attach supports 10 GbE links
  • 6 mm cable diameter fits dense panels

SFP+ Direct Attach Cable 0.5 m

The StarTech SFP+ Direct Attach Cable provides a 0.5 m MSA compliant link for 10 GbE networking. It connects switches, routers and servers with SFP+ ports in rack or cabinet builds. The passive copper assembly needs no external power and is ready for immediate deployment.

Capacity and headroom

The half-metre reach suits adjacent devices in the same rack where longer cables would add clutter. It supports the full 10 GbE line rate with low latency and minimal insertion loss. Runs exceeding 0.5 m or connections requiring active optics fall outside this cable's design envelope.

Questions about this item

Will this 0.5 m SFP+ cable link my older 10 GbE switch ports without compatibility issues?

The cable is MSA compliant, so it works with any switch or NIC that follows the same multi-source agreement for SFP+ direct-attach copper.

How can I confirm the 1.6 W power draw is normal once the cable is seated?

Check the port status LEDs on both ends; a solid link light with no errors indicates the module is powered and negotiating at the expected rate.
