Cavo SFP+ Twinax CBO 470-ABBL-BL 3 m connettore maschio-connettore maschio 10 Gbit/s

BlueOptics SFP+ Twinax Cable CBO 470-ABBL-BL is a direct-attach copper cable with SFP+ male connectors at both ends, 3 m in length, engineered for 10 Gbit/s short-range links. It provides a low-latency, power-efficient connection between switches, servers and network interface cards, suitable for top-of-rack, server-to-switch and aggregation uplinks within data center racks and wiring closets.

Advantages

The cable delivers 10 Gbit/s full-duplex transmission over a fixed 3 m copper assembly, offering reduced latency and lower power consumption compared with optical transceivers plus fibers for short distances. Integrated SFP+ male connectors simplify installation without separate transceiver modules. Its factory-terminated construction ensures consistent signal integrity and repeatable performance for rack-level interconnects.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack switch to server connections in data centers
• Server-to-server links within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Short-distance uplinks between access switches and aggregation switches
• High-density switch ports where low power and predictable latency are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 3 m
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (full duplex)
• Medium: Twinax copper fixed cable
• Latency: low, suitable for short-range interconnects
• Power: lower power consumption compared with equivalent optical transceivers for short links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ male connector into compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers or NICs until the connector latches. Ensure both devices support direct-attach copper SFP+ modules and verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. Route the cable within the rack to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the 3 m length as intended for short-range connections to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m SFP+ twinax cable for short inter-rack or intra-rack connections where 10 Gbit/s throughput, low latency and energy efficiency are priorities. Avoid using beyond recommended distances and keep connectors clean and free of debris during installation. Check compatibility notes of your network equipment vendor if link negotiation requires specific DAC support.
