SFP+ copper twinax cable CBO SFP-H10GB-CU2M-NG-BL 2 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

The SFP+ copper twinax cable CBO SFP-H10GB-CU2M-NG-BL is a 2 m direct-attach cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends and a 10 Gbit/s data rate. It is designed for short-reach interconnects between servers, switches and storage devices and provides a low-latency, energy-efficient physical link without the need for separate transceiver modules. The fixed-length cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible Fibre Channel deployments where a reliable, cost-effective cable solution is required for intra-rack or rack-to-rack connections.

Advantages

This direct-attach SFP+ copper twinax cable offers low latency and reduced power consumption compared with optical transceivers and fiber optics for short distances. The integrated SFP+ male connectors simplify installation by eliminating additional transceiver units, reducing component count and overall system cost. With a 2 m length, the cable is suitable for typical rack and cabinet layouts while maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gbit/s. The cable’s design provides a stable physical connection intended for permanent or semi-permanent links.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet short-reach links within or between racks
• Fibre Channel short-distance storage interconnects
• Direct server-to-switch connections in data center topologies
• Low-latency, cost-sensitive networking where optical transceivers are unnecessary

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: Copper twinax direct-attach
• Length: 2 m
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Typical use range: short-reach intra-rack and rack-to-rack
• Application: 10 GbE and compatible Fibre Channel links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network equipment until the latch secures the connector. Verify that both ends are fully seated and that the host devices recognize the link. No separate transceivers or optical modules are required. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain bend radius recommendations; secure the cable within the rack to prevent strain on the connectors. Monitor link LEDs or management interfaces to confirm stable 10 Gbit/s operation after installation.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m SFP+ twinax cable for permanent or semi-permanent short-distance links where low latency and low power consumption are priorities. Avoid repeated hot-plug cycles and excessive mechanical stress on connectors; ensure compatibility with host ports and firmware policies that may restrict direct-attach cables.
