Intel XDACBL5M Compatible 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 5m (16ft)

This HT cable matches the XDACBL5M requirement for Intel equipment. The 5m (16ft) assembly supports 10G operation and provides a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords; its complete electrical and mechanical details are listed below.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Intel XDACBL5M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 5m (16ft), XDACBL5M
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 24AWG
• Maximum power consumption: ≤0.1W
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

The rated power consumption is ≤0.1W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

The 5m (16ft) length gives XDACBL5M more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. Longer copper runs need particular attention to routing weight and bend control; the DAC specification and host support must still match the intended link.

XDACBL5M occupies the middle of this family between XDACBL4M at 4m (13ft) and XDACBL6M at 6m (20ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

This assembly uses 24AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The intended application is 10G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include 1x InfiniBand QDR, DDR, SDR, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with XDACBL5M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 5m (16ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Intel software can request a pre-order check.

Quote HT part number XDACBL5M with the required quantity. The 5m (16ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

Every XDACBL5M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 5m (16ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
