SFP+ Cable BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU3M-BL 3m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU3M-BL 3m Male/Male SFP+ cable is a direct-attach copper link designed for short-reach, high-speed networking. With a 3 m length and SFP+ male connectors on both ends, this cable provides a simple, low-latency connection between SFP+-equipped switches, routers and servers. The cable's construction and connector plating support reliable 10 Gbps transmission for typical data center and rack-level interconnects.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable offers plug-and-play installation without transceivers, reducing component count and power consumption compared with optical alternatives. Its 3 m length suits top-of-rack and adjacent-rack connections, while the SFP+ male-to-male configuration maintains compatibility with standard SFP+ ports. The cable's compact form factor and robust connector housings simplify cable management and help maintain signal integrity over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps links between switches and servers in data centers
• Top-of-rack and adjacent-rack interconnects
• Short-reach connections in network closets and equipment racks
• Environments where low-latency, cost-effective copper links are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector types: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Supported data rate: 10 Gbps (typical for SFP+ direct-attach copper)
• Colour: Black with nickel-plated connectors
• Weight: 0.13 kg

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the respective SFP+ port until the connector latches. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to use a 10 Gbps copper link. No additional transceivers or fiber patching are required. Verify link status on each connected device and confirm network settings such as speed and duplex where applicable. If a device does not negotiate the link, check port compatibility and firmware or driver support for SFP+ direct-attach copper cables.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m SFP+ cable for short, rack-level connections and avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors. Keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For longer distances or where fiber is required, consider optical SFP+ transceivers and fiber patch cables instead.
