SFP Cable CBO SFP-H10GB-CU4M 5m 10 Gbit/s Male–Male

BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU4M is a passive direct attach SFP+ cable, 5 m in length, designed for short-range 10 Gbit/s connections. The cable features SFP+ male connectors on both ends and supports low-latency, high-throughput links between switches, servers and other network equipment with SFP+ ports. Intended for rack-to-rack interconnects and data centre uplinks, this cable provides a simple and cost-effective physical layer option where fibre optics are not required.

Advantages

The passive SFP+ copper design reduces power consumption compared with active transceiver solutions and eliminates the need for separate transceivers. With SFP+ male-to-male connectors and a fixed 5 m length, the cable offers plug-and-play installation and predictable signal performance for short-distance links. Low latency and high bandwidth make it suitable for environments that require reliable 10 Gbit/s connectivity without additional configuration.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centres
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within a row or cabinet
• Server-to-switch links in high-density environments
• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s connections where fibre is unnecessary

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (per link capacity)
• Cable length: 5 metres
• Cable type: Passive copper direct attach cable (DAC)
• Use case: Short-range, low-latency interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Verify link status on both devices after connection; most switches and servers will automatically negotiate the 10 Gbit/s link. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable during installation. For best results, use the cable for direct connections within the same rack or adjacent racks where the 5 m length is appropriate.

Recommendations

Inspect ports for dust and debris before insertion and ensure devices support passive SFP+ DACs. Keep the cable away from high electromagnetic interference sources and maintain a bend radius recommended by the manufacturer to preserve signal integrity.
