The JBX05508 5m QSFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable represents an essential component for modern data center infrastructure, particularly for organizations leveraging NVIDIA Mellanox networking solutions. This passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) technology eliminates the need for transceivers, reducing both acquisition costs and power consumption while delivering exceptional 10GBASE-CR performance. Key Technical Features: This cable utilizes 28AWG twinax copper construction, engineered to maintain signal integrity over 5-meter distances. The QSFP+ to SFP+ configuration enables flexible connectivity between different switch ports and network interface cards, accommodating diverse topology requirements. With a rated data transmission capacity of 10GB, it provides robust throughput for bandwidth-intensive applications including virtualization, cloud computing, and high-performance computing clusters. Compliance and Safety: RoHS, TUV, and UL certified, this cable meets rigorous international safety and environmental standards. Manufacturing in Vietnam and China ensures quality control adherence while maintaining competitive pricing. The cable operates reliably across 0-70°C temperature ranges, suitable for both controlled data center environments and edge deployment scenarios. Compatibility and Integration: Direct compatibility with NVIDIA Mellanox MC2309124-005 architecture enables drop-in replacement functionality, replacing OEM part numbers MC2309124-005 and 980-9I65P-00J005. This compatibility ensures seamless integration with existing infrastructure without requiring firmware updates or reconfiguration. Applications and Use Cases: Ideal for data center rack interconnections, switch-to-server connections, and storage area network (SAN) deployments. Organizations transitioning to 10GB networks benefit from DAC cables' immediate deployment capability and lower total cost of ownership compared to active optical solutions. Customization Options: Custom brand programming available for channel partners and resellers seeking OEM integration. Fast shipping from Danville, CA or Beaufort, SC locations with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Backed by 90-day limited warranty for customer peace of mind.
