SFP+ Direct Attach Cable CBO AX-F0110-3D1CU2M 10Gbps 30m

CBO AX-F0110-3D1CU2M 10Gbps 30m is an SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) that provides a pre-terminated, low-latency copper connection between SFP+ ports. Designed for 10 Gbit/s links at a 30 metre reach, this cable eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers, simplifying rack-to-rack, switch-to-switch and server-to-switch connectivity in data centers and network closets. The assembled twinax design ensures straightforward plug-and-play installation and reduced power consumption compared with transceiver-plus-fiber solutions.

Advantages

The direct attach cable delivers consistent 10 Gbit/s throughput with minimal latency and lower power draw because no active optics are required. Its factory-terminated SFP+ connectors reduce installation time and compatibility issues by presenting a standard SFP+ interface on both ends. The 30 m length extends the practical reach of twinax DACs, allowing flexible placement of equipment within typical rack and row layouts while preserving deterministic performance and signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Short-range switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links in data centers
• Interconnects between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Storage area network (SAN) and direct-attached storage connections
• High-density rack cabling where power and latency are concerns

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ connectors on both ends
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 30 metres
• Cable type: Twinax copper DAC (direct attach)
• Latency: Low, passive/direct connection
• Installation: Plug-and-play, no separate transceivers required

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network switches, servers or storage devices until the latch clicks. Ensure devices support SFP+ DAC compatibility and are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines from the equipment manufacturer if required. After connection, verify link status and speed through the device management interface and monitor for any error counters to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use this SFP+ direct attach cable in environments where short-range, high-bandwidth connections are needed and where reduced power and deterministic latency are priorities. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress along the cable length, maintain clearance from high-heat components, and follow vendor compatibility guidance for SFP+ DAC modules for best results.
