Cavo di rete CBO CBL-NTWK-0456-BL 2 m SFP+ 10 Gbit/s, cavo Direct-Attach-Twinax passivo

CBO CBL-NTWK-0456-BL is a 2 m passive direct-attach twinax cable with SFP+ connectors designed for 10 Gbit/s short-reach links. It connects SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage appliances without the need for separate optical transceivers. The 2 metre length supports tidy rack cabling and predictable signal performance for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections in data centre and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The cable provides a cost-efficient, low-power alternative to optical modules by combining SFP+ connectivity with passive twinax copper. It delivers reliable 10 Gbit/s throughput and minimal latency for direct device-to-device links. The compact, fixed-length design reduces inventory complexity and simplifies installation while offering consistent electrical characteristics for short-distance network segments.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between SFP+ ports on switches and servers
• Short-reach links within rack or between adjacent racks
• High-bandwidth, low-latency storage and compute interconnects
• Environments where power efficiency and cost reduction are priorities

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive twinax copper
• Length: 2 m
• Suitable reach: short-reach / within-rack cabling

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down if recommended by the equipment vendor before insertion or removal. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the specified minimum bend radius for twinax to preserve signal integrity. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm negotiated 10 Gbit/s operation in the system management interface.

Recommendations

Use this passive SFP+ twinax cable for short-distance interconnects where 10 Gbit/s performance is required and optical transceivers are unnecessary. Avoid using the cable for longer runs beyond recommended short-reach distances and check compatibility with device SFP+ port vendor lists when exact interoperability is required.
