SFP28 Direct Attach Cable CBO MCP2M00-A01AE30N-BL 2 m Male-to-Male 25 Gbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP28 Direct Attach Cable MCP2M00-A01AE30N-BL is a 2 m passive copper cable with SFP28 male-to-male connectors engineered for 25 Gbit/s links. It is intended for short-reach interconnects between servers, switches and network interface cards, offering a compact, low-latency physical connection suited to high-density data center environments and rack-to-rack connections.

Advantages

This direct attach cable delivers 25 Gbit/s throughput with minimal latency and low power consumption thanks to its passive copper design. The integrated SFP28 male connectors ensure a compact, standardized form factor that simplifies installation and saves port space in dense racks. The fixed 2 m length reduces clutter and cable management complexity while preserving signal integrity for short-distance links.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between servers and top-of-rack switches
• High-density data center switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links
• Network interface card (NIC) direct connections
• Rack-to-rack interconnects within the same room or aisle

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male-to-male
• Length: 2 meters
• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s (per link)
• Cable medium: passive copper
• Typical application range: short-reach, within rack or between adjacent racks

How to use

Insert each SFP28 male connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that devices are powered according to manufacturer instructions. No additional transceivers or power are required for passive operation. Verify link status at the device interface to confirm a successful connection and check network configuration for correct speed and duplex settings if applicable.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m passive SFP28 cable for short, fixed-length runs inside racks or between adjacent racks to maintain signal quality and reduce latency. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force; follow standard cable-management practices and maintain recommended bend radius for copper cables. Ensure the connected ports support SFP28 passive direct attach cables and 25 Gbit/s operation.
