Network SFP28 Cable CBO 740-084668-BO — 10M compatible with Juniper

CBO SFP28 740-084668-BO is a 10-metre direct-attach network cable designed for use with Juniper hardware and other compatible 25 Gbps SFP28 ports. The cable implements the SFP28 form factor to provide a low-latency, high-throughput link for server, switch or storage interconnects in data centre and enterprise networks. Its fixed 10 m length simplifies rack-to-rack and pod-to-pod connections while avoiding the need for optical transceivers and fibre patching for short-to-medium distance links.

Advantages

This SFP28 direct-attach cable delivers a cost-effective, power-efficient option for 25 Gbps connectivity. The integrated twinax construction reduces signal loss and jitter compared with longer copper alternatives, producing stable throughput for demanding applications. Compatibility with Juniper SFP28 ports and standard SFP28 interfaces ensures plug-and-play installation and predictable performance. The cable’s 10-metre length offers flexibility for typical data centre layouts, enabling tidy cable routing between racks and network devices.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections at 25 Gbps
• Switch-to-switch links within the same data hall or adjacent racks
• Storage array interconnects requiring low-latency links
• Short-range direct-attach deployments where fibre transceivers are not required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 direct-attach cable (DAC)
• Data rate: 25 Gbps per channel
• Cable type: Twinax copper assembly
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: SFP28 male connectors on both ends
• Typical application: Short-range high-speed interconnects in racks and between adjacent racks

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding 25 Gbps SFP28 port on the Juniper device or other compatible network equipment until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plugging guidelines from the equipment manufacturer if supported. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and secure it to rack management paths or cable organizers to maintain airflow and serviceability.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, verify port compatibility and firmware support on Juniper devices before deployment. Avoid excessive bending of the cable near the connectors and maintain a tidy cable path to minimise airflow obstruction. Use this direct-attach SFP28 cable for short-range links where 25 Gbps throughput and low latency are required; for longer distances, consider optical transceivers and fibre cabling.
