Koperen SFP+ directe aansluitkabel CBO 74752-2301-BL 3 m male naar male 10 Gbit/s

The BlueOptics Copper SFP+ Direct Attach Cable CBO 74752-2301-BL is a 3 m twinax cable with Male-to-Male SFP+ connectors engineered for short-range 10 Gbit/s links. It provides a direct, low-latency copper connection between devices with SFP+ ports, enabling compact, energy-efficient interconnects without separate optical transceivers. The assembly is intended for use in data center top-of-rack switches, server interconnects and storage systems where a reliable, cost-effective short-reach 10 Gigabit connection is required.

Advantages

This direct-attach cable offers plug-and-play convenience and eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing both initial hardware cost and power consumption. The fixed-length twinax construction ensures stable signal quality and low latency for short-distance links up to 3 m. Metal-shielded SFP+ connectors provide secure mating with standard SFP+ ports and help maintain electromagnetic compatibility in dense rack environments.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Interconnecting 10 Gbit/s switches within a rack or across adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch connections in data center and enterprise environments
• Connecting storage arrays and high-performance appliances requiring short-reach 10G links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ Male-to-Male twinax
• Length: 3 m
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Medium: copper twinax cable
• Form factor: Direct attach cable (no separate transceivers required)
• Typical application: short-range (rack or adjacent racks) interconnects

How to use

Install by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the devices to be linked until the latch engages; no additional configuration or transceiver modules are required. Ensure both connected ports are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation and that devices support direct-attach copper SFP+ cables. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, keeping it clear of hot air plenums and moving parts to maintain signal integrity and product longevity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 3 m copper SFP+ cable for connections within a rack or between adjacent racks. Verify compatibility with the host equipment’s SFP+ port specifications and firmware, and avoid exceeding the cable’s intended short-reach distance to prevent signal degradation. Store spare cables in a dry environment and handle connectors by the housing to reduce contamination and connector wear.
