SFP+ Cable CBO 90Y9430-BL 3 m Male-to-Male Straight

SFP+ CBO 90Y9430-BL 3 m Male-to-Male Straight is a passive copper direct-attach cable designed to establish a 10 Gb/s link between compatible SFP+ ports. The 3 meter length provides a compact fixed connection for rack-mounted switches, servers and storage systems, offering low latency and a simple physical layer for short-reach interconnects in data center and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This passive SFP+ cable delivers a reliable 10 Gb/s connection with low power consumption compared to active optical solutions. The male-to-male straight connectors allow direct mating with SFP+ transceiver ports without additional modules, reducing component count and simplifying installation. The fixed 3 m length is suitable for neat cable management within racks and between adjacent cabinets, while the copper construction provides consistent signal integrity for short-distance links.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting top-of-rack and end-of-row switches
• Direct links between servers and storage arrays with SFP+ ports
• Short-reach connections inside racks or between closely spaced cabinets
• Cost-effective 10 Gb/s uplinks and cross-connects in enterprise and SMB networks

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male-to-male straight copper cable
• Length: 3 meters
• Data rate: up to 10 Gb/s
• Cable type: passive twinax/copper
• Typical application: short-reach direct-attach interconnects

How to use

Verify that both devices support SFP+ direct-attach copper cables and are powered down or that hot-plugging is supported by the equipment. Align the male SFP+ connectors with the SFP+ ports and insert firmly until the latch engages. Once connected, power on or enable the ports and confirm link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. For removal, release the connector latch before withdrawing the cable to avoid damage to the port.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance links up to 3 m in structured rack environments; avoid sharp bends and excessive pull force on the cable. Keep connectors clean and free of dust when not in use and follow equipment vendor guidance for supported passive SFP+ direct-attach cables to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
