CBO DAC Cable AX-F0110-3Q1CU2M 10G 30m Direct-Attach Copper Cable

The CBO DAC Cable AX-F0110-3Q1CU2M 10G 30m Direct-Attach Copper Cable is a passive copper link designed for short-reach Ethernet interconnections. It supports 10 Gigabit data transfer over a 30-metre length and is intended for direct connections between switches, routers and servers that accept DAC interfaces. The cable provides a low-latency, low-cost physical layer solution for structured racks, top-of-rack deployments and small to medium data centre links.

Advantages

This direct-attach copper cable offers reliable 10G performance across 30 metres without the need for additional transceivers, reducing component count and power consumption. As a passive assembly, it delivers predictable latency and stable signal integrity for short-distance connections. The design is suitable for dense rack environments where physical space and power efficiency are important considerations.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack switch to server connections in data centre racks
• Short-distance switch-to-switch links in enterprise network closets
• Router uplinks within the same equipment room
• Temporary or fixed high-bandwidth connections for test and lab environments

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 30 metres
• Media type: Direct-attach copper (passive)
• Connector type: DAC-compatible interfaces for networking equipment
• Latency: low, suitable for low-latency applications within short reach
• Typical use environment: data centre racks, server rooms, equipment closets

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each DAC connector into the appropriate port on the networking devices until the connector latches. Ensure both devices support passive DAC connections and are powered down or follow hot‑swap guidance per the device manufacturer if connecting live. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and secure it within the rack to maintain cable management and airflow. Verify link status and negotiated speed on both endpoints after installation.

Recommendations

For best results, use this 30 m DAC cable for interconnections within the same room or contiguous rack rows. Avoid extended runs beyond the specified length, and maintain proper bend radius and strain relief to preserve signal integrity. Confirm device compatibility with passive DAC modules and check firmware or hardware release notes if link issues occur.
