SFP56 Cable CBO BL060601Y2M30-BL 2m Male-to-Male 50 Gbit/s

Direct-attach SFP56 cable BL060601Y2M30-BL by BlueOptics is a 2 m male-to-male passive cable engineered for 50 Gbit/s short-range links. It connects devices with SFP56 ports to provide high-throughput, low-latency interconnects without the need for separate optical transceivers. The compact assembly is intended for rack-to-rack or adjacent-rack connections in data centers and enterprise networks where space and power efficiency are important.

Advantages

This SFP56 cable delivers a reliable 50 Gbit/s connection with minimal latency and reduced power consumption compared with active optical modules. The integrated male-to-male plugs simplify installation and reduce the number of components required for a link. Its 2 meter length balances reach and cable management in dense rack environments, while the passive design lowers overall system cost and heat generation.

Suitable for

• Short-range high-speed links between switches
• Connections between routers and network interface cards with SFP56 ports
• Rack-to-rack and adjacent-rack interconnects in data centers
• Environments prioritizing low latency and reduced power usage

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 50 Gbit/s
• Connector type: male-to-male SFP56 interface
• Length: 2 meters
• Design: direct-attach cable (passive)
• Typical applications: short-reach interconnects in enterprise and data center networks

How to use

Insert each male connector into the corresponding SFP56 port on the devices to be linked, ensuring correct orientation and firm seating until the retention mechanism engages. Verify link status on both devices and confirm negotiated data rate is 50 Gbit/s. For installation, route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid sources of mechanical stress; the passive cable requires no external power or configuration beyond standard port settings on connected equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this SFP56 cable for short-reach connections within the same rack or between adjacent racks. Avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius, ensure ports are compatible with passive direct-attach cables, and check device firmware or vendor compatibility lists if interoperability questions arise.
