SFP+ Cable CBO 2053649-4-BL 3 m Male/Male 10 Gbit/s

Direct-attach SFP+ copper cable BlueOptics 3 m Male/Male delivers a fixed, low-latency 10 Gbit/s link for short-reach connections between devices with SFP+ ports. The 3-meter length is intended for rack-to-rack and intra-rack connections in data centers and server rooms where a compact, cost-effective, and power-efficient alternative to optical transceivers is required. This SFP+ cable integrates connectors and copper cabling in a single assembly, eliminating the need for separate modules while maintaining the interface and form factor of SFP+ ports.

Advantages

The cable provides a reliable, low-latency 10 Gbit/s connection with lower power consumption compared to active optical solutions. Its fixed copper assembly reduces component count and simplifies installation and maintenance. The plug-and-play male-to-male SFP+ ends preserve SFP+ port compatibility and offer stable electrical performance for short-distance links. The 3 m length balances flexibility with predictable signal integrity for rack and row cabling.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between switches, servers and network interface cards with SFP+ ports
• Data center rack-to-rack and intra-rack cabling
• Environments prioritizing low latency and low power consumption
• Cost-sensitive deployments where optical transceivers are not required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Nominal data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: direct-attach copper assembly
• Length: 3 meters
• Application range: short-reach, typically within racks or between adjacent racks
• Form factor: SFP+ compatible connector housing

How to use

Insert each SFP+ male connector into the SFP+ ports of the two devices to be connected until the connector latches. Ensure both devices are powered and the SFP+ ports are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation if manual configuration is required. Verify link status in device management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed and duplex settings. For removal, depress the latch mechanism and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within recommended rack and cabinet layouts to avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources and ensure proper airflow in racks. Check device compatibility lists for SFP+ copper assemblies if strict vendor interoperability is required.
