SFP+ Direct Attach Cable CBO 470-11429-BL 1 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

CBO SFP+ direct attach cable 470-11429-BL is a 1 m passive copper interconnect that provides a 10 Gbit/s link between compatible SFP+ ports. Designed for short-range connections in data centers and network racks, this male-to-male cable eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers by offering a low-latency, high-throughput physical connection. The compact design and fixed length make it suitable for tight equipment layouts and consistent, repeatable performance in server, switch and storage environments.

Advantages

The cable delivers a reliable 10 GbE connection with minimal power consumption since it is a passive copper assembly. Its direct attach design reduces component count and simplifies installation compared with fiber-plus-transceiver solutions. With a one-meter length and male-to-male SFP+ terminations, it supports close-proximity interconnects while maintaining signal integrity for short-reach applications. The product is compatible with standard SFP+ cages and provides consistent throughput and low latency for high-density network deployments.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers
• Server-to-switch connections within the same cabinet
• High-throughput storage area network (SAN) interconnects over short distances
• Intra-chassis connections where SFP+ ports are available

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male
• Length: 1 meter
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Cable medium: passive copper direct attach
• Typical use: short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks

How to use

Insert each SFP+ plug into the appropriate SFP+ port on the two devices you want to connect until the latch secures. Ensure devices are powered down or support hot-plugging per manufacturer guidance before insertion or removal. After installation, verify link status in the device management interface to confirm negotiated speed and connectivity. For multiport switches, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain proper airflow in the rack.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP+ direct attach cable for short, fixed-length connections where a low-cost, low-power 10 GbE link is required. Avoid exceeding the intended bend radius, keep the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference, and verify compatibility with your switch or server vendor if firmware-based port validation is enforced.
