10GB-AC05-SFPPExtreme Networks 10GB-AC05-SFPP Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Copper Twinax Cable, 5m (16ft)
The 10GB-AC05-SFPP cable on this page is the 5m (16ft) version for Extreme Networks hosts requiring 10G operation. Its SFP+ to SFP+ ACC construction reduces the connection to one factory-terminated assembly. Related lengths, brand cross-references and rack-integration notes support a precise high-density deployment.

Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is ≤0.5W. 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.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
The 5m (16ft) length gives 10GB-AC05-SFPP more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. Longer copper runs need particular attention to routing weight and bend control; the ACC specification and host support must still match the intended link.
Position Within the Length Range
10GB-AC05-SFPP occupies the middle of this family between 10GB-AC03-SFPP at 3m (10ft) and 10GB-AC07-SFPP at 7m (23ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.
High-Density Rack Integration
In a densely populated rack, connector access and airflow are part of the link design. Choose the shortest length that follows the managed path comfortably, avoid tight bundles around the connector housings and preserve room for latch operation. Where power consumption is listed, include every populated interface in the host thermal budget rather than assessing a single cable in isolation. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 28AWG; the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the stated power consumption is ≤0.5W; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).
Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses 28AWG 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.
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. 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.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Each assembly receives a visual connector inspection and functional link check before it is coiled and protected. Packaging is selected to avoid compressing the cable into a tight bundle, and optional rack-based labels help maintain an orderly installation when many identical interfaces are populated together. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.
Ordering Information
Provide the exact part number, length, quantity and target interface density. For multi-rack projects, list each length separately and identify any preferred carton grouping. Host model and software information can be included for a compatibility review before production or dispatch. Quantity and any labeling instructions should be attached specifically to 10GB-AC05-SFPP.
Extreme Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing
The assembly is evaluated for host recognition and stable link operation, with diagnostics checked where the interface provides them. This approach verifies more than electrical or optical continuity. Exact platform and firmware information remains valuable in high-density deployments because port mode and qualification policy can differ within the same connector family. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes link stability and diagnostic indications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Extreme Networks cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies Extreme Networks 10GB-AC05-SFPP.
Can different brands be connected with the same assembly?
Only where both hosts explicitly support the complete interface and compatibility arrangement. Document each end and select the appropriate brand-specific product when required.
Does this order code cover multiple lengths?
No. 10GB-AC05-SFPP refers here to 5m (16ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.
Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?
No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production quantities confirmed at order stage. International express, air cargo and sea freight can be selected according to destination and carton volume; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are also accepted.
