SFP+ Direct-Attach-kuparikaapeli CBO 74752-1501-BL, 5 m, SFP+ uros-uros, 10 Gbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP+ Direct-Attach Copper Cable CBO 74752-1501-BL is a 5 m passive twinax cable with SFP+ male connectors at both ends, designed for 10 Gbit/s short-range interconnections. It provides a low-latency, low-power alternative to fiber for direct server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links within racks or across adjacent racks. The cable is intended for environments where reliable 10 Gbit/s connectivity is required over short distances and where simplicity and cost-efficiency are priorities.

Advantages

The SFP+ direct-attach copper solution offers reduced latency and lower power consumption compared with active optical options for equivalent short runs. Its integrated SFP+ male connectors simplify installation and reduce the number of components required. The 5 m length supports flexible placement of equipment in rack and row topologies while maintaining predictable signal integrity for 10 Gbit/s operation.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections inside the same rack
• Switch-to-switch uplinks across adjacent racks
• Top-of-rack and leaf-spine fabric links in data centers
• Network interface card (NIC) ports supporting SFP+

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: Twinax copper (passive DAC)
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Standard length: 5 metres
• Typical use range: short-range, rack-level interconnects
• Latency characteristics: low latency suitable for high-performance switching

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector firmly into the SFP+ port of the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch engages. Verify that both endpoints support 10 Gbit/s SFP+ direct-attach copper connections and that ports are enabled in the device firmware or operating system. After connection, check link LEDs or management interfaces to confirm a stable 10 Gbit/s link. For moves or replacements, power down equipment if required by your site procedures, then disengage the latches and remove the cable.

Recommendations

Use the cable for distances within typical rack-level limits; avoid running twinax alongside high-power electrical cables to reduce potential interference. Ensure proper cable bend radius is maintained and avoid tight kinks. Verify device compatibility, as some network equipment may enforce vendor locking or require firmware settings to accept third-party DACs.
