SFP+ Direct Attach-kabel CBO BlueOptics S+DA0003 3m – CBO S+DA0003-BL

The BlueOptics S+DA0003 3m is an SFP+ direct attach copper cable designed for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between SFP+ ports. This fixed copper assembly integrates the connector and cable in a single unit to create a low-latency, energy-efficient 10Gb link without the need for separate optical transceivers. With a 3 meter length and SFP+ form-factor plugs on both ends, the cable is intended for reliable rack-to-rack and within-rack interconnects in data centers, server rooms and network closets.

Advantages

The direct attach design reduces component count and simplifies installation by eliminating separate transceivers. Copper construction provides low latency and lower power consumption compared with active optical solutions at short distances. The fixed-length 3 m cable offers consistent electrical performance and predictable signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, supporting common switch, router and server SFP+ ports that accept passive direct attach assemblies. This product delivers a cost-effective connectivity option for dense top-of-rack and aggregation deployments.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ plug into compatible SFP+ ports on networking equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation; the link should negotiate automatically when the ports accept passive direct attach copper assemblies. Route the 3 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain proper airflow in racks and avoid tight cable bundles that could impede cooling.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your switch or server vendor for passive SFP+ direct attach copper cables before installation. Use the 3 m length for short-range connections within racks or between adjacent racks to ensure optimal signal integrity and lowest power usage. Replace the assembly if connector damage or visible cable deformation is observed.
