SFP+ copper patch cable CBO SFP-10G-C50CM-BL 0.5 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

Direct-attach copper SFP+ patch cable CBO SFP-10G-C50CM-BL is a 0.5 m Male-to-Male assembly that supports 10 Gbit/s links. It is designed for short-reach connections between SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage systems, providing a compact, low-latency and cost-effective physical link for data center and networking racks. The cable features SFP+ form-factor connectors on both ends and is intended for use where fibre optic transceivers are not required.

Advantages

The SFP+ copper patch cable offers low latency and minimal signal loss over short distances, enabling reliable 10 Gbit/s connections without the need for separate transceivers. Its fixed 0.5 m length reduces clutter in rack environments and simplifies port-to-port connections. The male-to-male SFP+ connectors are compatible with standard SFP+ ports, providing a plug-and-play solution that lowers total hardware cost compared with separate optical transceivers and fiber patch cords.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between SFP+ ports in network switches
• Direct links between servers and storage devices within rack cabinets
• Interconnects in top-of-rack and middle-of-row data center deployments
• Temporary or permanent port-to-port connections in test and lab environments

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Direct-attach copper, SFP+ to SFP+
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector gender: Male-to-Male
• Form factor: SFP+ compatible
• Intended reach: Short-reach / within same rack or adjacent racks

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch engages. Ensure both network devices are powered and configured for 10 Gbit/s operation if manual interface settings are required. Verify link status on both devices and confirm negotiated speed and duplex as needed. For rack installations, route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and to maintain clear airflow around equipment.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance, high-speed connections inside racks or between adjacent racks; avoid using it for longer runs beyond the specified short-reach application. Handle connectors by the housing to prevent damage to the latch and keep contacts clean; store the cable coiled without tight bends when not in use.
