Direct Attach Copper (DAC) kabel CBO SRX-SFP-10GE-DAC-3M-BL 3 m SFP+ 10 Gbit/s

CBO SRX-SFP-10GE-DAC-3M-BL is a 3-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable with SFP+ connectors that supports 10 Gbit/s links for short-range high-speed connections. Engineered for direct copper connectivity between switches, routers and servers, it delivers a low-latency, power-efficient physical link suitable for dense data centre environments and rack-to-rack interconnects.

Advantages

The cable offers a fixed-cost, low-power alternative to optical transceivers for short distances, reducing both latency and heat generation compared with active optical solutions. Its SFP+ form-factor provides hot-pluggable connectivity compatible with SFP+ ports on common networking equipment. The 3 m length balances flexibility and signal integrity for typical rack and adjacent-rack topologies while maintaining 10 Gbit/s throughput.

How to use

Install the DAC cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or support hot-plugging per the equipment vendor instructions; many modern switches and servers allow insertion while powered. After physical connection, verify link status and configure the interfaces in the network operating system as required for speed, duplex and VLAN settings.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m DAC cable for short, direct connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the cable; maintain a bend radius consistent with manufacturer guidance. Confirm device compatibility with passive SFP+ copper modules before deployment and monitor link stability after installation.
