SFP+ Direct-Attach Cable CBO 2127934-3-BL 2m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

Twin-connector SFP+ Direct-Attach Cable by BlueOptics, 2 meters long with male-to-male SFP+ connectors, provides a short-reach 10 Gbit/s connection for equipment with SFP+ ports. The cable is designed for direct interconnects between switches, servers and network interface cards to deliver a compact, low-latency physical link suitable for data centre uplinks, storage arrays and server-to-server connections.

Advantages

The cable offers a straightforward plug-and-play connection without the need for optical transceivers, reducing component count and power consumption. With a fixed 2 m length and male-to-male SFP+ ends, it ensures consistent electrical performance and lower latency compared with fiber transceivers over short distances. The integrated twin-connector design simplifies routing in dense rack environments and helps maintain signal integrity for 10 Gbit/s links.

Suitable for

• Short-reach switch-to-switch uplinks in data centres
• Server-to-storage or server-to-server connections within racks
• High-density top-of-rack deployments where space and power efficiency matter
• Network interface cards (NIC) direct connections supporting SFP+ ports

Key specifications

• Interface: Male-to-male SFP+ connectors
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 2 metres
• Type: Direct-attach copper cable (twin-connector)
• Latency: Low, suitable for short-reach high-speed links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices to be linked, ensuring the connector latches engage. Verify link status on both devices and configure network settings as required (speed, duplex, and interface settings) through the equipment management interface. For best results, avoid tight bending of the cable and secure routing within the rack to prevent physical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this direct-attach SFP+ cable for intra-rack and short inter-rack connections up to 2 m where 10 Gbit/s throughput is required. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ passive copper cables and check switch or server documentation for supported cable types and any vendor-specific requirements.
