SFP+ direct-attach cable CBO SFP-10G-DAC-0.5M-LC-BL 0.5 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

BlueOptics SFP+ direct-attach cable SFP-10G-DAC-0.5M-LC-BL is a passive copper interconnect designed for short-distance 10 Gbit/s links. With a 0.5 m length and SFP+ male-to-male connectors, this cable connects switches, network interface cards (NICs) and storage devices with minimal latency and low power consumption. The plug-and-play design requires no additional transceivers or configuration and is intended for reliable, high-speed rack- and chassis-level connections.

Advantages

This passive SFP+ direct-attach cable delivers a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to optical transceivers for short-range connections. It provides consistent 10 Gbit/s throughput with low latency and simplified installation. The fixed 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter in dense rack environments, and the robust SFP+ male connectors ensure a secure physical connection suitable for high-density networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Inter-switch connections within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Direct links between servers and switches or NICs
• Short-range links to storage arrays or SAN front-ends
• High-density data center top-of-rack deployments

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Passive copper twinax
• Length: 0.5 m
• Latency: low, suitable for time-sensitive traffic
• Installation: hot-pluggable, plug-and-play

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the appropriate SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch engages to secure the connection. No additional drivers or optical transceivers are required. After physical connection, verify link status on connected devices and configure network settings as needed for your environment. For proper operation, use the cable within the supported port specifications and within short-reach scenarios.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m SFP+ direct-attach cable in short-distance, high-density installations where optical transceivers would be unnecessary. Avoid routing the cable near high-power lines or sharp edges, and do not exceed the specified bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ passive copper DACs before deployment.
