SFP+ Cable BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M-3C 2m Male/Male Black

The BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M-3C is a 2-meter SFP+ direct-attach copper cable with male connectors on both ends, designed for short-reach high-speed data links. The cable supports 10 Gbps connections between compatible SFP+ ports and is intended for direct interconnection of network devices such as switches, routers and servers in rack and data center environments. Its fixed length and durable outer jacket provide consistent signal integrity and uncomplicated installation in confined cabling runs.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper cable offers low-latency, energy-efficient 10 Gbps connectivity without the need for separate optical transceivers. The fixed 2 m length reduces excess cable slack for tidier rack layouts and predictable signal performance. A robust outer jacket and secure male SFP+ connectors provide mechanical stability and resistance to repeated insertion cycles, while the copper construction eliminates the need for fiber handling and transceiver compatibility concerns.

Suitable for

• Direct 10 Gbps connections between switches and servers within racks
• Short-reach uplinks and stacking links in data centers
• Patch connections in high-density network cabinets
• Environments where low latency and cost-effective 10G links are required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male-to-male direct-attach copper
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 2 meters
• Cable type: Twinax copper with integrated SFP+ connectors
• Jacket: Durable outer sheath for mechanical protection
• Use case: Short-reach direct connections (rack-to-rack or within rack)

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or follow live-insertion guidelines from device manufacturers if hot-plugging is supported. Route the 2 m cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain bend radius recommendations to preserve signal integrity. After connection, verify link status and speed through device management interfaces and adjust port settings if necessary for proper 10 Gbps operation.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance 10G links inside racks and between adjacent racks. Avoid excessive bending, exposure to liquids, and physical strain on the connectors. Verify SFP+ port compatibility and firmware support on networking equipment before deployment to ensure link negotiation and power requirements are met.
