BlueOptics BlueLAN 10GBASE-CR Passive SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable, 5m, AWG24, Compatible with Lenovo 81Y8297

The BlueOptics BlueLAN 10GBASE-CR Passive SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Designed to be fully compatible with Lenovo 81Y8297 networking equipment, this passive copper cable delivers reliable, low-latency data transmission over distances up to 5 meters. Ideal for data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks, it provides a simple plug-and-play alternative to fiber optic transceivers and cabling.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers several key benefits: it is hot-swappable, requires no external power (consuming less than 0.1W), and features ultra-low latency for high-performance computing environments. The passive design ensures zero power consumption from the host device, while the AWG24 copper construction provides excellent signal integrity and low EMI/RFI interference. Compliance with SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 standards guarantees interoperability and reliability.

Suitable for

• Data centers requiring high-density 10GbE connections
• Server and storage area network (SAN) deployments
• Enterprise network switches and routers
• Short-range backbone links within racks or adjacent racks
