SFP+ DAC cable BlueOptics MCP2100-X03AB 10Gbps twinax copper, 24 m

The DAC SFP+ CBO Mellanox MCP2100-X03AB 10Gbps 24m is a direct-attach copper (DAC) twinax cable assembly designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between SFP+ ports. Manufactured under the BlueOptics brand and compatible with SFP+ interfaces, this fixed-length cable provides a straightforward physical layer solution for short-reach, high-bandwidth links in network racks and top-of-rack switches.

Advantages

This 10Gbps DAC cable offers a low-latency, low-power connection without the need for separate optical transceivers or fiber patching. Its twinax construction simplifies installation and reduces component count, while the fixed 24 m length removes the need to terminate or connectorize fibers. The product supports standard SFP+ form-factor connections and is suitable for environments where reliable, high-speed copper links are preferred.

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable type: Direct-attach copper (twinax)
• Maximum length: 24 m
• Form factor: SFP+ compatible connector

How to use

Install the DAC SFP+ cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices, ensuring the retaining latch engages. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required. Verify link lights and network configuration on both endpoints; configure speed and duplex settings if not negotiated automatically. For safe handling, avoid excessive bending, pulling, or stepping on the cable during installation and routing.
