Network cable CBO CBL-NTWK-0347-BL 1 m SFP+ male to male, 10 Gbit/s

Direct-attach network cable BlueOptics CBL-NTWK-0347-BL is a 1 meter SFP+ male-to-male passive copper assembly that supports 10 Gbit/s links. It is engineered for short-reach, high-speed connections between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage appliances. The compact, single-cable form factor reduces latency and simplifies rack cabling for data center interconnects and equipment upgrades.

Advantages

This 1 m SFP+ cable offers low power consumption compared with active optical alternatives, minimal signal latency and a simple plug-and-play installation without the need for transceivers. Its passive design ensures predictable performance for short-distance 10 Gbit/s links, while the robust SFP+ male connectors provide reliable mechanical and electrical contact in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Direct server-to-switch and server-to-storage links
• Short-reach connections in data centre top-of-rack deployments
• Equipment upgrades where existing SFP+ ports are used

Key specifications

• Cable type: passive direct-attach copper assembly (DAC)
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 1 meter
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Typical use distance: short-reach, intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections
• Latency: low (passive copper design)

How to use

Plug one SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the source device and the other into the destination device, ensuring each connector is fully engaged and locked. Verify port settings and link negotiation on both devices; most modern switches and servers will auto-negotiate the 10 Gbit/s link. Use the 1 m length to route the cable neatly within the rack, avoiding sharp bends and excessive strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable for short-distance connections within racks or between adjacent racks, avoid kinking or tight bends, and ensure compatibility with your equipment's SFP+ ports. When replacing transceiver-based links, confirm that device firmware or vendor restrictions do not prevent use of passive direct-attach cables.
