SFP+ Cable BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M-HU 2m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M-HU is a 2m SFP+ cable with male connectors on both ends, designed for 10 Gigabit direct-attach copper connections. This passive SFP+ twinax cable offers a short-range, low-latency link between switches, network interface cards and storage devices in data centers and server rooms. The cable's compact design and black jacket make it suitable for dense rack environments where reliable high-speed connectivity is required.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable provides a cost-effective solution for short-distance 10GbE connections, delivering predictable latency and signal integrity without the need for separate transceivers. Its 2 m length balances reach and cable management in rack installations. The male-to-male SFP+ terminations ensure straightforward hot-pluggable connections to compatible SFP+ ports, and the lightweight construction simplifies routing and handling during deployment and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and servers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Direct attach connections for network interface cards and storage arrays
• Testing and temporary links during maintenance or reconfiguration

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector types: SFP+ to SFP+ (male/male)
• Intended use: Passive direct-attach copper (twinax) for 10GbE
• Typical applications: Short-range high-speed networking
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.08 kg

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on your network devices until they click into place. Ensure devices are powered and that ports support passive SFP+ direct-attach cables. Verify link status through switch or server management interfaces and confirm negotiated 10GbE speed. For removal, release the connector latch (if present) and pull the cable straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance links where passive SFP+ twinax is supported by both endpoints. Avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity. Keep the cable clear of high-heat sources and secure it in the rack to prevent strain on connectors. For longer runs or where higher flexibility is required, consider active optical cables or fiber solutions.
