Cavo SFP+ CBO 470-11431-BL 5 m connettore maschio-connettore maschio 10 Gbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP+ Cable 470-11431-BL is a 5 m direct-attach copper link with male-to-male SFP+ connectors supporting 10 Gbit/s. It is designed for short-distance, high-speed interconnects between servers, switches and storage devices, offering a compact, low-latency physical connection that simplifies rack cabling and reduces the need for transceivers in compatible SFP+ ports.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable provides a reliable 10 Gbit/s connection with low latency and low power consumption compared to optical solutions that require separate transceivers. The 5 m length is suitable for typical rack-to-rack or within-rack connections while maintaining signal integrity for copper direct-attach use. The male-to-male SFP+ interfaces make installation straightforward in systems that support direct-attach SFP+ modules and help minimize the physical space and cabling complexity in data centre and enterprise network environments.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in rack-mounted environments
• Switch-to-storage interconnects for SAN or NAS systems
• Short-distance aggregation links within data centre rows or racks
• Environments where low-latency 10 Gbit/s copper links are preferred over optical transceivers

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Direct-attach copper (MTP-style)
• Connector type: Male-to-male SFP+ compatible
• Length: 5 metres
• Typical use: Short-distance rack and within-rack interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the connector latches. Verify that the connected devices support copper direct-attach SFP+ modules and the specified 10 Gbit/s speed. After physical installation, check link status LEDs or device management interfaces to confirm a stable connection and correct negotiation of speed and duplex. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius to preserve performance.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m SFP+ cable for short-distance links inside racks or between adjacent racks where 10 Gbit/s bandwidth and low latency are required. Ensure devices explicitly list support for direct-attach SFP+ copper modules to avoid compatibility issues; follow manufacturer guidance for port settings and maximum supported cable lengths.
