BlueLAN Compatible Supermicro CBL-NTWK-0552 Cable Direct Attach Copper SFP+ 10GBASE-CR Pasivo, 5 m

The BlueLAN CBL-NTWK-0552-BL is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This cable is fully compatible with Supermicro equipment, serving as a direct replacement for the Supermicro CBL-NTWK-0552. With a length of 5 meters and SFP+ connectors on both ends, it provides a cost-effective and low-power solution for short-range network connections within data centers and enterprise environments.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers several key benefits: it is passive, meaning it requires no external power and consumes less than 0.1 W, reducing overall energy costs. The twinax copper construction ensures low latency and high signal integrity, while the 24 AWG wire gauge provides flexibility for easy routing. Hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors allow for quick installation and replacement without powering down equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers, switches, and storage devices in data centers
• High-speed 10GBASE-CR networks requiring reliable, low-latency links
• Replacing active optical cables or transceivers for short distances (up to 5 meters)
• Supermicro-based systems needing a compatible CBL-NTWK-0552 alternative
