CBO SFP+ BlueOptics 45W2398-IB-BL 1 m Male/Male 10 Gbit/s optical cable

The CBO SFP+ BlueOptics 45W2398-IB-BL 1 m Male/Male 10 Gbit/s optical cable is a shielded direct-attach patch cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. It provides low-latency, high-throughput connectivity for server, switch and storage interconnects in rack-mounted and data center environments. The compact form factor and shielded construction minimise signal interference while keeping cabling density low.

Advantages

This cable offers a cost-effective, compact alternative to separate transceivers and fibre patch cords for short connections. Shielded SFP+ connectors reduce electromagnetic interference and help maintain signal integrity at 10 Gbit/s. The fixed 1 m length simplifies cable management in dense racks and minimizes insertion loss compared with longer, passive copper alternatives. Its direct-attach design eliminates the need for additional modules, reducing points of failure and simplifying deployment.

Suitable for

• Direct server-to-switch 10GbE connections in data centres and server rooms
• Short-reach links between top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects requiring low latency
• High-density rack environments where compact cabling is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 1 metre
• Cabling: shielded direct-attach assembly
• Intended reach: short-reach / direct-attach links
• Form factor: compact SFP+ compatible cable assembly

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network equipment until the latch engages; ensure both host devices support direct-attach passive cables at 10 Gbit/s. Verify link status using device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated link speed. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable within its specified bend radius. When removing the cable, depress the connector latch before pulling to prevent port damage.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m shielded SFP+ cable for short, fixed links inside racks and between adjacent equipment. Confirm device compatibility with passive SFP+ direct-attach cables and check transceiver port specifications in switch and server documentation before deployment.
