CBO Cable CBL-0348L-SO-BL 3m SFP+ 10 Gbit/s

CBO BlueOptics CBL-0348L-SO-BL 3m SFP+ 10 Gbit/s is a 3 metre direct-attach copper cable engineered for short-range, high-speed links between devices with SFP+ ports. It delivers a point-to-point connection for switches, servers and storage systems where low latency and reliable 10 Gbit/s throughput are required. The cable is intended for data centre patching, rack-to-rack interconnects and other within-rack applications that call for a compact, plug-and-play SFP+ connection.

Advantages

The direct-attach design provides a cost-effective and low-power option compared with active optical modules while maintaining native 10 Gbit/s performance and minimal latency. A 3 m length balances flexibility and signal integrity for short-distance topologies. The cable’s SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with equipment featuring standard SFP+ ports and supports straightforward insertion and removal for maintenance or reconfiguration.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch clicks into place. Ensure devices are powered down or traffic is managed according to your change-control procedures if required by your environment. After physical installation, verify link status and speed in the device management interface and perform any necessary configuration on switch ports or host interfaces to enable 10 Gbit/s operation.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, keep it clear of sources of electrical interference, and maintain proper airflow in rack environments. Use the 3 m length for within-rack or adjacent-rack connections; for longer distances choose an appropriate optical solution. Consult device compatibility lists if your equipment enforces vendor locking or specific SFP+ module requirements.
