Cavo DAC BlueLAN compatibile BlueOptics MCP2102-X004B, SFP+ su SFP+, passivo, 10 Gbit/s, 5 m, nero (MCP2102-X004B-BL)

BlueOptics Direct Attach Cable (DAC) CBO 10Gbps SFP+ MCP2102-X004B 24m is a 24-metre passive SFP+ copper twinax assembly engineered for 10 Gbit/s links between network devices. It provides a fixed, low-latency physical connection for SFP+ ports without the need for separate optical transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing component count in rack environments. The cable is intended for short- to medium-distance interconnects where a reliable, high-speed electrical link is required.

Advantages

The DAC design delivers consistent 10Gbps throughput with minimal power consumption and reduced heat compared to active optical solutions. As a passive SFP+ cable, it eliminates the need to purchase and maintain separate transceiver modules, lowering total hardware cost and streamlining inventory. A 24-metre length enables flexible placement of switches and servers within and between adjacent racks while preserving signal integrity for typical datacenter top-of-rack and server aggregation scenarios.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack switch uplinks in data centers
• Server-to-switch interconnects in rack and row deployments
• Aggregated switch-to-switch connections within the same facility
• High-throughput links for network appliances and storage arrays

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ (direct attach copper)
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 24 metres
• Type: Passive twinax copper assembly
• Latency: low, fixed electrical link characteristics
• Compatibility: designed for SFP+ ports supporting DAC assemblies

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector firmly into the corresponding SFP+ port on devices such as switches, servers or network appliances until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated and the devices recognize the link; most systems will enumerate the connection automatically. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and secure it in the rack to prevent strain on the connectors. No additional transceivers, fiber patch cords or media conversion are required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify that the connected equipment supports passive SFP+ DAC modules and that firmware or vendor restrictions do not block third-party assemblies. Maintain bend radius according to manufacturer guidance, avoid exposure to excessive heat or moisture, and periodically inspect connectors for debris to preserve signal quality.
