SFP+ direct attach cable CBO SFP-10G-DAC-0.5M-FJ 0.5 m 10 Gbit/s

CBO SFP-10G-DAC-0.5M-FJ is a 0.5 meter SFP+ direct attach copper cable engineered for short-reach 10 Gbit/s links. The cable connects compatible SFP+ ports directly without separate optical transceivers, delivering low latency and straightforward plug-and-play installation. It is intended for fixed 10GbE interconnects in data center top-of-rack, switch-to-switch and server-to-switch environments where a short, reliable cable is preferred.

Advantages

This SFP+ direct attach cable provides a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers and fibers for short distances, reducing component count and power consumption. The fixed copper assembly ensures consistently low latency and predictable performance. Its standardized SFP+ connectors enable broad compatibility with devices that support passive DAC connections, while the short 0.5 m length minimizes signal degradation and rack clutter.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack switch to server connections
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Short-distance 10GbE links in data centers and server rooms
• High-density network environments requiring low-latency interconnects

Key specifications

• Type: SFP+ direct attach copper (DAC) cable
• Length: 0.5 m
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Connector: SFP+ form-factor connectors (both ends)
• Use case: Short-reach, within-rack or adjacent-rack connections
• Installation: Plug-and-play, no external transceivers required

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support direct-attach copper connections and are powered off or follow hot-swap guidelines from your hardware vendor if inserting while powered. After connection, verify link lights and network interface status in the device management interface to confirm the 10 Gbit/s link is active.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m SFP+ DAC for short, fixed links inside racks or between adjacent racks to achieve reliable 10GbE connectivity with minimal latency. Avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress on the cable and ensure SFP+ ports are rated for passive copper DACs to maintain compatibility and longevity.
