SFP+ Short-Range DAC Cable CBO 0231A0AL 30m, Twinax Direct Attach for 10GbE

Direct Attach Copper (DAC) SFP+ cable by BlueOptics, model 0231A0AL, 30 m length, provides a ready-made twinax solution for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable is pre-terminated with SFP+ interfaces on both ends to connect switches, servers and storage devices that support SFP+ ports. Designed for data center and server room interconnects, this twinax cable reduces cabling complexity, lowers latency and consumes less power compared with separate optical transceivers and fiber assemblies.

Advantages

The SFP+ Short-Range DAC Cable delivers a compact, pre-terminated connection that simplifies rack cabling and shortens installation time. As a copper twinax solution it offers lower power consumption and reduced latency versus active optical solutions while maintaining the signal integrity required for 10GbE links. The fixed-length, factory-terminated design ensures consistent performance without field termination.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and server/network appliances
• Server-to-storage interconnects within racks and across adjacent racks
• Patch and aggregation connections in data center and server room environments

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Length: 30 meters
• Media: Twinax (copper) direct attach
• Supported data rate: 10 Gb/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Connector compatibility: SFP+ port form factor
• Typical use: Short-range interconnects within data centers and server rooms

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ port on network switches, servers or storage devices. Ensure that connected equipment supports passive or active DAC twinax cables as required by the vendor, and that ports are configured for 10GbE operation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; secure it within rack pathways or cable management panels to maintain airflow and accessibility.

Recommendations

Use this 30 m SFP+ twinax cable for short-range 10GbE connections where a low-latency, low-power direct attach solution is required. Verify device compatibility with SFP+ direct attach copper cables and follow manufacturer guidelines for port configuration and thermal management.
