SFP+ Twinax Cable CBO 2127932-3-BL 2 m Male/Male 10 Gbit/s

BlueOptics SFP+ Twinax Cable CBO 2127932-3-BL is a 2-meter direct-attach copper cable with male-to-male SFP+ connectors engineered for short-range 10 Gbit/s connections. The cable provides a low-latency, energy-efficient alternative to optical transceivers for link aggregation between compatible SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage systems. Its fixed-length design and integrated SFP+ plugs simplify rack-level cabling and reduce the need for separate transceivers and patch cables.

Advantages

The twinax cable delivers up to 10 Gbit/s throughput with minimal signal loss and negligible latency compared with optical links. It is a cost-effective solution for short-distance interconnects, offering lower power consumption and simplified installation because transceivers are integrated. The 2 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or device-to-device connections while maintaining a tidy cable layout, and the rugged SFP+ connectors ensure reliable electrical contact and mechanical stability.

Suitable for

• Direct server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections within the same rack or adjacent racks
• High-speed uplinks between storage arrays and network switches
• Environments where low latency and reduced power consumption are priorities
• Data center top-of-rack or middle-of-row cabling with fixed short runs

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 2 m
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Medium: Direct-attach copper (twinax)
• Latency: minimal, suitable for low-latency applications
• Form factor: SFP+ compliant integrated plugs

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connector latch clicks into place. Verify that both devices support SFP+ direct-attach copper twinax cables and that port settings (speed and duplex) are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation if required. Monitor link LEDs or management interfaces to confirm an active connection. For removal, depress the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid stressing the port.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance connections up to 2 m in rack-level deployments where a fixed, low-latency 10 Gbit/s link is needed. Avoid tight bends near the connector ends and keep the cable away from high-power electrical sources to minimize interference. Check device compatibility lists for SFP+ twinax support when planning upgrades.
