Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable CBO SFP-10G-DAC-0.5M 10Gbps 0.5m SFP+ to SFP+

CBO SFP-10G-DAC-0.5M is a 0.5-metre direct attach copper (DAC) passive SFP+ cable that provides 10Gbps connectivity between SFP+ ports. Designed for short-reach links in switches, servers and storage arrays, this SFP+ to SFP+ cable delivers low latency and plug-and-play installation without the need for separate transceivers. The passive copper construction reduces power consumption and simplifies rack-to-rack and in-rack connections in data centre environments.

Advantages

The cable offers straightforward installation with hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors and a fixed 0.5 m length that is well suited to dense rack environments. Passive copper design provides low latency and lower power draw compared with optical transceivers, and the direct attach format eliminates the need for additional modules or fibre patching. The product is compatible with standard SFP+ ports, enabling predictable performance for short-distance 10Gbps links.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10Gbps connections between switches
• Server-to-top-of-rack switch links
• Storage array interconnects within racks
• High-density data centre patching and cable management

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 0.5 metre
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Cable type: Passive direct attach copper (DAC)
• Typical use: Short-reach, rack-to-rack and in-rack links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network switches, servers or storage devices until the latch secures the plug. Ensure both ends are seated and that connected equipment is powered and configured for 10Gbps links. No additional modules or transceivers are required; the cable operates as a single assembly. For removal, press the release latch and withdraw the connector carefully to avoid stress on the port.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m DAC cable for short, high-density connections inside racks or between adjacent rack units. Avoid sharp bends and routing through high-temperature zones; maintain appropriate bend radius for copper cables. Verify SFP+ port compatibility and link settings on network equipment for reliable 10Gbps operation.
