SFP+ Direct-Attach Copper Cable CBO PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-3M 3 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP+ Direct-Attach Copper Cable CBO PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-3M 3 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s is a passive SFP+ twinax cable designed for short-range, high-bandwidth connections. With a 3 meter length and SFP+ male connectors on both ends, the cable provides a direct copper link between compatible SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage devices. It supports 10 Gbit/s data rates with low latency and is intended for rack-to-rack or within-rack interconnects where fiber optics are not required.

Advantages

This SFP+ DAC cable delivers a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to optical transceivers and fiber patch cords for short distances. Its passive copper design reduces power consumption and eliminates the need for separate transceivers, simplifying installation and lowering component count. The fixed 3 m length gives predictable signal behavior for structured data center layouts, and the standardized SFP+ connectors ensure compatibility with equipment that supports direct-attach copper cables.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ male connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch engages. Verify that both ends are seated firmly and check link status on connected devices. No transceivers or additional modules are required; the cable functions as an integrated copper link. If your hardware requires specific firmware or compatibility settings for DAC cables, consult the equipment documentation and enable the appropriate port configuration.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m SFP+ DAC cable for short, direct connections inside racks or between adjacent racks where 10 Gbit/s performance and low latency are needed. Avoid excessive bending near the connector heads and secure the cable to prevent strain. Confirm device compatibility with passive SFP+ twinax cables before deployment.
