DAC Cable BlueOptics DAC10G-1M-BL 1m SFP+ Male/Male Black

The BlueOptics DAC10G-1M-BL is a 1 meter direct attach copper (DAC) cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends. Designed for short-reach, high-speed links, this cable supports 10 Gbps connections commonly used in data centers, server rooms and network closets. Its fixed length and integrated SFP+ plugs simplify installation by eliminating separate transceivers and reduce latency and power consumption compared with optical solutions for comparable short-distance links.

Advantages

The DAC cable provides a low-latency, energy-efficient connection for 10 Gbps Ethernet and related protocols. With SFP+ male/male termination, it offers plug-and-play compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP+ direct-attach modules. The 1 m length is suitable for rack-to-rack or device-to-device links inside cabinets, ensuring predictable signal integrity without the need for separate optics. The cable's robust construction delivers reliable physical connection and consistent performance in dense networking environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the devices to be linked, ensuring the latches engage securely. No additional transceivers or configuration are usually required; devices typically detect the link automatically. Verify link status on both devices and confirm negotiated speed is 10 Gbps. For reliable operation, avoid excessive bending or pulling and route the cable to minimize mechanical stress.

Recommendations

Use this DAC cable for short, high-speed interconnects inside racks, keeping cable runs to the specified 1 m length for optimal signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends and EMI-prone routing alongside high-power cables; maintain proper airflow in dense equipment layouts.
