Cavo Direct-Attach SFP+ CBO 01-SSC-9787-BL 1 m maschio/maschio 10 Gbit/s

BlueOptics SFP+ Direct-Attach Cable CBO 01-SSC-9787-BL is a passive 1 m copper twinax cable with SFP+ male connectors at both ends. The cable supports 10 Gbit/s data rates and is intended for short-reach high-speed links between compatible SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage devices. Its compact form factor and low latency make it suitable for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections in data centres where a fixed, cost-effective copper connection is preferred over optical transceivers and fibres.

Advantages

The direct-attach cable provides a simple, low-power alternative to optical modules by eliminating separate transceivers and optical patch cords. As a passive solution it reduces power consumption and heat output compared with active optics, while delivering full 10 Gbit/s bandwidth and predictable latency. The one-metre length minimises excess cabling in dense rack environments and supports straightforward plug-and-play installation into SFP+ ports without additional configuration.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between network switches and top-of-rack devices
• Server-to-switch links within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Storage array interconnects requiring 10 Gbit/s throughput
• Environments that prioritise low latency, compact cabling and reduced power

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: Passive copper twinax
• Length: 1 metre
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Application: Short-reach direct attach for SFP+ ports
• Form factor: Low-profile, suitable for dense rack layouts

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking equipment until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or that hot-plug procedures specified by the equipment manufacturer are followed if connecting live. After insertion, verify link status and negotiate speed through the device management interface or LED indicators. No additional drivers or fibre patching are required for standard SFP+ compatible ports.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short, fixed links up to 1 m where both endpoints have compatible SFP+ ports. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for twinax cables. For installations in hot aisles or confined spaces confirm that passive copper cabling meets your power and thermal requirements compared with optical alternatives.
