SFP+ CBO MCP2103-X00AB-BL 0,5 m uros/uros 10 Gbit/s kuparikaapeli

The BlueOptics SFP+ CBO MCP2103-X00AB-BL is a 0.5 m direct-attach copper (DAC) cable with SFP+ male connectors at both ends, designed to deliver reliable 10 Gbit/s connectivity for short-reach links. It enables direct connections between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices without separate optical transceivers, offering a compact and energy-efficient alternative for rack-to-rack and intra-rack interconnects. The cable is intended for installations where low latency and predictable signal integrity are required over short distances.

Advantages

This SFP+ copper cable provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for high-speed 10 Gbit/s links by eliminating the need for separate transceivers. With a short 0.5 m length and robust male SFP+ connectors, it reduces rack clutter and simplifies hardware cabling. The direct-attach design offers low latency and consistent performance suitable for data centre topologies and hardware configurations that require reliable short-range connectivity.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s connections between network switches
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage interconnects within a rack
• Intra-rack or adjacent-rack high-speed links in data centres
• Environments where reduced power consumption and minimal heat are important

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: Direct-attach copper (DAC)
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 0.5 m
• Typical use: Short-reach rack and intra-rack interconnects
• Latency: low, suitable for time-sensitive links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ male connector into the SFP+ port of the devices to be connected, ensuring connectors are aligned and fully seated until the retention latch engages. Use the cable for direct short-distance links between compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers or storage enclosures. Verify link status through device indicators or management interfaces after connection. For safe handling, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable during installation.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m SFP+ DAC where short, high-speed links are required and where both devices support SFP+ direct-attach copper connections. Confirm compatibility with the network equipment vendor’s supported cable list when necessary and maintain proper cable routing to prevent strain and electromagnetic interference from nearby power or high-frequency signal sources.
