BlueLAN Force10 CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1.5M Compatible Direct Attach Cable (DAC) - Passive 10 Gigabit Twinaxial Copper SFP+ to SFP+ - 1.5 Meter

The BlueLAN Force10 CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1.5M is a high-performance, passive Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed to provide reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This twinaxial copper cable features SFP+ connectors on both ends, making it ideal for connecting hardware within racks or across adjacent racks in data center environments. As a cost-effective alternative to fiber optic solutions, it offers low power consumption and easy deployment.

Advantages

This passive DAC cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing cost and complexity. With a length of 1.5 meters, it is perfect for short-range connections, ensuring high signal integrity and minimal latency. The cable is hot-swappable and compliant with SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 standards, guaranteeing compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Data centers requiring high-speed rack-to-rack or adjacent rack connectivity
• Enterprise networks upgrading to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Telecommunications and cloud computing environments
• Any application needing reliable, low-latency copper interconnects
