SFP+ Cable CBO 2127932-4-BL 3 m Male/Male 10 Gbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP+ Cable CBO 2127932-4-BL 3 m Male/Male 10 Gbit/s is a direct-attach copper cable designed for short-range, high-speed connections between network devices equipped with SFP+ ports. At 3 metres length and supporting 10 Gbit/s data rates, this cable provides a straightforward, low-latency link suitable for rack-to-rack and intra-rack connections in data centers and enterprise networks. The Male-to-Male SFP+ connectors enable plug-and-play installation with compatible transceiver ports and remove the need for separate optical modules.

Advantages

This SFP+ passive direct-attach cable offers reliable 10 Gbit/s performance with minimal latency and reduced power consumption compared to active optical solutions. Its fixed 3 m length simplifies cable management for short links and helps maintain signal integrity without the complexity of separate transceivers. The plug-and-play design ensures quick deployment and compatibility with devices that accept SFP+ DACs, supporting consistent performance in high-density networking environments.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches and routers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch links in data centers and enterprise server rooms
• High-density top-of-rack networking where space and power efficiency are important
• Environments requiring low-latency 10 Gbit/s connectivity for storage and virtualization traffic

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 3 metres
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: direct-attach (DAC) copper
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Typical applications: short-reach networking, rack-to-rack and intra-rack links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP+ cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices to be linked. Ensure both devices are powered and their SFP+ ports are enabled and configured for 10 Gbit/s operation if required. The cable supports hot-plugging, so it can be connected or disconnected while equipment is running, but follow your equipment vendor's guidelines for hot-swap procedures to avoid transient network issues. Verify link status through device management interfaces after connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 3 m direct-attach cable for short-range links within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and excessive stress on the cable and connectors; maintain bend radii recommended by the manufacturer. Confirm compatibility with your network equipment's SFP+ DAC support list to ensure plug-and-play operation and full 10 Gbit/s throughput.
