SFP Direct Attach Cable CBO SFP-10G-DAC3M-BL 3 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

CBO SFP-10G-DAC3M-BL is a 3-meter direct attach cable with male-to-male SFP+ connectors, designed for short-range high-speed connections. The cable supports 10 Gbit/s data rates and provides a low-latency, energy-efficient physical link without optical transceivers. It is intended for rack-level interconnects between switches, servers and other network devices equipped with SFP+ ports, simplifying cabling and reducing power consumption compared with active optical solutions.

Advantages

The direct attach cable delivers reliable 10 Gbit/s throughput and low latency suitable for data centre aggregation and top-of-rack connections. Passive construction reduces power usage and eliminates the need for separate optical modules, while the fixed 3 m length and male-to-male SFP+ connectors provide a compact, plug-and-play solution for dense rack environments. The cable design minimizes signal degradation for short links and simplifies inventory management by replacing separate transceivers and patch cords.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that connected equipment is compatible with passive direct attach cables at 10 Gbit/s. No additional optical transceivers or patch panels are required; power down is not generally necessary for hot-plug capable ports, but follow your equipment vendor guidelines when inserting or removing cables in live systems.

Recommendations

Use the cable for links up to the specified 3 m distance within racks or short pathways. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; maintain bend radius consistent with manufacturer guidance to preserve signal integrity. Verify device compatibility with passive copper SFP+ direct attach cables to ensure correct link negotiation and power behavior.
