Direct Attach Cable CBO DAC-3M-QL-BL 3 m SFP+ QLogic compatible

CBO DAC-3M-QL-BL is a 3-meter SFP+ direct attach cable designed for short-range, high-throughput connections between network equipment. Compatible with QLogic SFP+ ports, this fixed copper link delivers low latency and energy-efficient performance for rack-to-rack interconnects, top-of-rack switches, servers and storage systems in data centers or enterprise network racks.

Advantages

The cable offers a pre-terminated, plug-and-play solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing power consumption and simplifying installation. Its SFP+ form factor ensures broad compatibility with equipment that supports QLogic SFP+ optics, while the fixed copper design provides consistent signal integrity over short distances. The 3 m length balances flexibility and tidy cabling in dense rack environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are seated and the equipment is powered according to manufacturer guidelines. The direct-attach cable is pre-terminated and does not require separate transceivers or additional configuration in most environments; device interfaces should recognize the link and negotiate 10GbE automatically. Avoid kinking the cable and keep bend radius within vendor recommendations to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use this direct attach cable for reliable short-distance 10GbE connections where a fixed copper link is acceptable. Verify that your devices support QLogic-compatible SFP+ modules before deployment and route the cable to minimize strain and interference from high-power equipment.
