SFP+ Cable CBO MC3309130-00A-BL 0.5 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

The SFP+ Cable CBO MC3309130-00A-BL 0.5 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s is a direct-attach copper cable designed for short-range, high-speed interconnects. With integrated male SFP+ connectors on both ends and a compact 0.5 m length, this cable enables low-latency connections between switches, network interface cards and servers without the need for separate transceiver modules. It is intended for rack-level links and data centre topologies where reliable 10 Gbit/s throughput and minimal signal conversion are required.

Advantages

This SFP+ direct-attach cable delivers native 10 Gbit/s performance with low insertion loss and reduced power consumption compared with optical transceivers plus fibre. The fixed 0.5 m length minimises cabling clutter in dense rack environments and ensures predictable signal integrity for short links. Integrated male SFP+ connectors provide a straightforward plug-and-play installation that eliminates the cost and complexity of separate modules and patch cords. The cable's compact form factor supports efficient airflow and cable management in server cabinets and switch panels.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections between Top-of-Rack switches and adjacent switches
• Direct links from network interface cards (NICs) to switches or server ports
• Rack-level interconnects in data centres and server rooms
• High-density patching where space and cable management are critical

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male-to-male direct-attach cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 0.5 m
• Cable type: Direct-attach copper (DAC)
• Use case: Short-reach, rack-level interconnects
• Latency: Low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each male SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the devices to be linked. Ensure that both devices support direct-attach SFP+ DAC connections at 10 Gbit/s and that ports are powered down or in a safe state if required by your equipment's hot-plug procedure. Once connected, verify link status via device LEDs or management software and configure network settings as needed. For reliable operation, avoid excessive bending near the connectors and secure the cable to prevent strain on the ports.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m SFP+ DAC for short, fixed-length links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Prefer direct-attach cables for cost-effective, energy-efficient 10 Gbit/s links where fibre transceivers are not necessary. Maintain proper airflow and cable routing in dense installations and replace cables showing physical damage or degraded link performance.
