Direct Attach Cable (DAC) CBO 95Y0326 30 m SFP+ passive copper cable

BlueOptics Direct Attach Cable (DAC) CBO 95Y0326 is a 30 m passive copper SFP+ cable engineered for short-to-mid range 10GbE connections. Designed to plug directly into SFP+ ports, this fixed-length cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and provides a low-latency physical link between compatible switches, servers and storage devices. Its construction supports reliable signal integrity for data center, rack-to-rack and top-of-rack interconnects while simplifying installation and maintenance.

Advantages

This passive SFP+ DAC offers plug-and-play operation with no additional modules required, reducing component count and deployment time. The copper assembly delivers consistent 10GbE performance with low latency and predictable electrical characteristics for short-distance links. As a fixed 30 m cable, it minimizes potential compatibility issues related to transceiver pairings and supports straightforward cable management in rack environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches in the same rack or adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch connections in data centers and enterprise networks
• Interconnects for storage systems and SAN access within short-to-mid range
• Temporary or permanent rack-to-rack cabling where passive SFP+ solutions are supported

Key specifications

• Cable type: Passive copper direct attach
• Connector type: SFP+ compatible plugs
• Length: 30 meters
• Data rate: Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet links
• Latency: Low-latency physical connection suitable for high-throughput traffic
• Application environment: Data center and enterprise rack interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on your compatible switches, servers or storage devices until the latch engages. No optical transceivers or additional configuration are required for basic link establishment; most devices will detect the physical connection automatically and negotiate the 10GbE link. Verify link status and speed via the device management interface and ensure that both ends are compatible with passive SFP+ copper cabling.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, maintain recommended bend radius, and secure the cable within cable management pathways. Confirm device compatibility with passive SFP+ copper cables before deployment and test the link after installation to validate link integrity and speed.
