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

Direct-attach SFP+ copper twinax cable CBO SFP-H10GB-CU2M-SO-BL is a 2 m Male-to-Male cable that supports 10 Gbit/s data transfer. Designed for short-reach connections between SFP+ ports, this fixed-length twinax cable delivers low-latency and energy-efficient connectivity for switches, servers and network appliances. It is intended for rack-to-rack or within-rack links where a stable, high-speed 10Gb connection is required.

Advantages

This SFP+ twinax cable offers a reliable, low-power solution for short-distance 10 Gbit/s links. Its direct-attach design eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying installation. The copper twinax construction provides consistent signal integrity and minimal latency, while the 2 m length is suitable for common data center layouts. The cable is compatible with standard SFP+ ports and provides a cost-effective option for establishing permanent or semi-permanent high-speed connections.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s connections between network switches
• Server-to-switch links within the same rack
• Interconnects between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• High-density patching scenarios in data centers

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Connector type: SFP+ Male-to-Male direct-attach
• Cable type: Copper twinax
• Length: 2 m
• Latency: Low (direct-attach copper connection)
• Power consumption: Lower than active optical solutions for short runs

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to recognize direct-attach copper connections at 10 Gbit/s. Avoid excessive bending or tension on the cable; route it within the rack to prevent strain and to maintain airflow. When removing the cable, release the latch before pulling the connector to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use this twinax cable for short-distance links up to 2 m where a fixed, low-latency 10Gb connection is needed. For runs beyond this distance or where optical isolation is required, consider optical fiber transceivers or active cables. Verify SFP+ port compatibility with the device vendor and confirm link settings in the network equipment before deployment.
