Product Identity

The HPE Juniper Networking QFX-SFP-DAC-5MA is a 16.4 ft SFP+ direct-attach copper cable designed for short-range server and switch interconnects in data centres. It targets network engineers who need a fixed-length, low-latency link between compatible SFP+ ports without separate transceivers.

Sustained Operation

As a passive copper assembly, the cable introduces no active components that throttle under continuous throughput, so latency and signal integrity remain constant for the full 16.40 ft run. There is no firmware to overheat and no power draw that changes with traffic volume.

Deciding Specification

The single factor that determines fit is the 16.4 ft fixed reach; the cable cannot be shortened or extended and only mates with SFP+ cages wired for direct-attach copper. Buyers needing longer runs or fibre interfaces must select a different part.

Highlights

  • 5 metre reach for rack-to-rack links
  • SFP+ direct-attach ends simplify installation
  • Passive copper design needs no external power
  • Juniper-qualified part ensures switch compatibility
  • 4 ft length suits standard cabinet spacing

Questions about this item

Does the 16.4 ft SFP+ cable draw enough power or generate heat to affect a switch running continuously?

The passive direct-attach cable has no active electronics, so it adds no measurable heat and draws no power beyond the negligible loss in the copper conductors.

What port type must my switch or server already provide for this cable to plug in directly?

Each end terminates in an SFP+ connector, so the host equipment needs matching SFP+ cages that accept a direct-attach copper assembly.

Will the 16.4 ft length work reliably when linking a newer SFP+ switch to an older 1 GbE SFP port I still use?

The cable is built for SFP+ electrical interfaces; inserting it into a legacy 1 GbE SFP socket will not establish a link because the signalling rates and electrical characteristics differ.
