SFP+ Direct-Attach Cable CBO 74752-1101-BL 1 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

The SFP+ Direct-Attach Cable CBO 74752-1101-BL 1 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s is a copper twinax cable with integrated SFP+ male connectors designed for short-reach 10 Gbit/s interconnections. It connects SFP+ ports on switches, servers, storage devices or NICs over a 1 metre distance, offering a low-latency and power-efficient physical link suitable for rack-to-rack and top-of-rack deployments in data center environments.

Advantages

This direct-attach cable provides a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for short distances, reducing both acquisition and operational costs. The integrated SFP+ male connectors eliminate the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, simplifying installation and minimizing link loss. Its copper construction delivers low latency and low power consumption compared with active optical solutions for comparable short-range connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to switches within a rack or between adjacent racks
• Linking servers to top-of-rack switches or network interface cards (NICs)
• Short-range high-speed links in data centers and server rooms
• Patch or equipment-to-equipment connections where 10 Gbit/s throughput is required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male (integrated twinax)
• Cable medium: copper twinax
• Typical application: short-reach direct attach for 10G links
• Latency: minimal, suitable for latency-sensitive links
• Power consumption: lower than comparable active optical solutions for short distances

How to use

Insert each SFP+ male connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the connector latches. Ensure both devices support direct-attach copper SFP+ modules and are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation. Check link status indicators on each device to confirm a successful connection. For safe removal, disable or gracefully shut down the link if required by your equipment, then depress the connector latch and pull the cable straight out to avoid stressing the ports.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m direct-attach cable in short-range environments where a reliable, low-latency 10 Gbit/s connection is needed. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Verify compatibility with your switch or NIC vendor to ensure link negotiation and diagnostics functions operate correctly.
