SFP+ Twinax Cable CBO AT-SP10TW1 1 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

Direct-attach SFP+ twinax copper cable BlueOptics CBO AT-SP10TW1 1 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s is a short-range connectivity solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The cable features SFP+ form-factor connectors at both ends and a fixed, low-latency copper twinax medium designed for direct connection between switches, servers and network interface cards (NICs). With a 1 metre length and plug-and-play operation, this cable is intended for rack-level and data centre top-of-rack interconnects where cost-effective, power-efficient 10GbE links are required.

Advantages

The twinax cable offers a reliable, low-latency physical connection with lower power consumption compared with optical transceivers and fibre for short distances. Its SFP+ male-to-male terminations provide straightforward hot-pluggable installation without additional modules or patch panels. The short 1 m length minimises signal loss and crosstalk in dense rack environments while keeping cabling neat and predictable. The copper construction eliminates the need for separate transceivers and supports immediate 10 Gbit/s operation when connected between compatible SFP+ ports.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the connector latches. No additional transceivers or optical modules are required. After insertion, verify link status on both devices and configure network settings as needed (for example speed/duplex if not negotiated automatically). For removal, release the connector latches and pull straight out to avoid stressing the cable or ports.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP+ twinax cable for short, direct connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid routing the cable near high-interference power sources and do not exceed the recommended operating bend radius. Ensure both devices support SFP+ passive copper DACs for compatibility and check device firmware or vendor documentation if link negotiation issues occur.
