DAC SFP Cable BlueOptics EMC DAC-SFP-10G-1M 10G 1m SFP+ Black

The BlueOptics EMC DAC-SFP-10G-1M is a 1-metre direct attach copper (DAC) cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for 10G Ethernet links. This cable provides a low-latency, energy-efficient connection option for short-reach links inside racks or between adjacent racks. The product combines a rugged cable assembly and SFP+ form-factor plugs to support high-speed data transmission in data centres and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This 1 m DAC SFP cable offers native SFP+ compatibility for straightforward installation into SFP+ ports without additional optics. It delivers reliable 10G performance with minimal power consumption compared with optical transceivers and fibre. The fixed-length copper assembly reduces complexity and cost for short-distance interconnects while maintaining signal integrity and low latency. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row connections inside server racks
• Interconnecting switches, servers and storage appliances at 10G
• Short-distance links in data centres and enterprise network closets

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Media type: Direct attach copper (DAC)
• Jacket colour: Black
• Typical use: Short-reach copper interconnect

How to use

Install the BlueOptics EMC DAC-SFP-10G-1M by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on your switches, servers or storage devices until the retention latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support DAC passive SFP+ modules or compatible passive/active DAC assemblies. No additional transceivers or fibre patch cords are required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the specified bend radius to preserve signal integrity and prolong service life.

Recommendations

Verify port compatibility and firmware/vendor restrictions on network equipment before deployment. For high-density installations, label both ends and secure cables with cable management ties to maintain airflow and reduce strain. Use 1 m DAC cables for short links inside racks or between adjacent racks; choose optical transceivers and fibre for longer distances.
