SFP+ direct attach cable CBO 2052246-2-BL 1 m Male/Male 10 Gbit/s

BlueOptics SFP+ direct attach cable CBO 2052246-2-BL is a 1 m Male-to-Male copper twinax cable engineered for short-range 10 Gbit/s interconnects. It connects compatible SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage devices to deliver a compact, low-latency link for rack-level cabling and data center uplinks. The cable is intended for environments where a fixed short-reach, cost-effective high-speed connection is required without the need for separate transceiver modules.

Advantages

The cable offers a reliable 10 Gbit/s physical connection with low latency and reduced power consumption compared with optical transceivers. Its fixed 1 m length simplifies cable management in dense rack deployments and minimizes signal loss over short distances. Male-to-Male SFP+ connectors ensure direct compatibility with standard SFP+ ports on networking equipment that support DAC copper cables.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch-to-server connections
• Short-distance uplinks between switches within the same rack
• Direct interconnects between storage arrays and host adapters
• High-density patching scenarios where compact cabling is needed

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Connector type: SFP+ Male-to-Male (direct attach)
• Length: 1 meter
• Cable type: Copper twinax DAC
• Typical use range: short-reach, rack-level connections
• Compatibility: for equipment with SFP+ ports that accept direct attach copper cables

How to use

Power down or follow hot-plug guidance of your network equipment as required by the vendor. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it is securely latched. Ensure ports on both ends are configured to operate at 10 Gbit/s and that the connected devices support direct attach copper cables. After installation, verify link status and throughput using the switch or server management interface.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m DAC for short, fixed-length connections inside racks to maintain low latency and simplified cable routing. Avoid bending the cable sharply and keep it clear of heat sources. Confirm device compatibility and firmware/driver support for SFP+ direct attach copper cables before deployment.
