SFP+ DAC -kaapeli CBO AX-F0110-3D1CU5M 10G 5 m Direct Attach -kuparikaapeli

BlueOptics SFP+ DAC CBO AX-F0110-3D1CU5M is a passive direct attach copper cable that delivers a 10 Gbps connection over a 5 metre copper link. It is engineered for short-reach interconnects between network devices equipped with SFP+ ports, such as switches, routers and servers. The cable provides a low-latency, power-efficient alternative to optical transceivers for data centre and rack-level connectivity where fibre optics are not required.

Advantages

The passive SFP+ DAC cable offers predictable latency and minimal signal conversion overhead, reducing power consumption compared with active optical solutions. Its fixed 5 m length simplifies cable management within racks and between adjacent racks. Compatibility with standard SFP+ ports enables straightforward deployment without additional modules, and copper construction provides a cost-effective solution for short-distance 10 Gbps links.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and intra-rack switch-to-switch links
• Server to switch or router connections in enterprise and data centre racks
• High-throughput, low-latency applications such as virtualization hosts and storage nodes
• Environments where optical transceivers are unnecessary or where budget and power efficiency are priorities

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Link medium: Direct attach copper
• Length: 5 metres
• Type: Passive DAC (no active electronics in the cable)
• Typical use range: short-reach, rack-level interconnects

How to use

Ensure both devices have available SFP+ ports and are powered down or follow hot-swapping guidance from the device manufacturer. Align and insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it seats and the retention latch engages. Verify link status indicators on connected devices to confirm a successful 10 Gbps connection. For removal, release the latch and withdraw the connector following the equipment vendor’s instructions.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance links within racks or between adjacent racks; avoid long runs beyond the specified 5 m length. Maintain proper rack airflow and avoid sharp bends or excessive strain on the cable to preserve signal integrity. Follow vendor compatibility lists and firmware recommendations if available to ensure link stability.
