SFP+ Direct Attach Cable CBO SFN8200-3 30m, passive twinax, 10Gbps

CBO SFN8200-3 is an SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) with a 30 m length, designed for reliable 10 Gbps connections over a fixed twinax copper link. The cable connects SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices for short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects without the need for optical transceivers. Its passive twinax construction delivers low latency and a simple plug-and-play installation suitable for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack deployments.

Advantages

The passive twinax design eliminates the need for separate optical modules, reducing component count and simplifying inventory. With a 30 m reach and 10 Gbps throughput, the cable supports high-density network fabrics while keeping power consumption low compared to active solutions. The fixed-assembly SFP+ connectors ensure consistent electrical performance and quick hot-plug installation, lowering installation time and operational complexity.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on networking equipment, ensuring ports are powered down or follow your site hot-plug procedures if recommended by the equipment vendor. Verify link status on both ends after insertion; most systems will auto-negotiate at 10 Gbps over a passive twinax link. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and secure it to prevent movement in high-vibration environments.

Recommendations

Use this passive SFP+ twinax cable in rack- and data-centre environments where 30 m reach is sufficient and low power consumption and latency are priorities. Confirm compatibility with the SFP+ ports of your switches, servers or storage devices according to vendor guidance, and avoid exceeding the specified bend radius or physical stress to preserve signal integrity.
