Cable CBO SFP+ Twinax 1 m, 10 Gbit/s, macho a macho (45W2398-BL)

The CBO SFP+ Twinax Cable 1 m is a direct-attach, passive copper cable that provides a 10 Gbit/s connection between SFP+ ports. With male-to-male SFP+ connectors and a 1 metre length, this cable is intended for short-range, high-speed links in data center and rack-to-rack environments. It offers a low-latency physical connection that eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules, enabling a compact and straightforward cabling solution for switches, servers and other network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP+ twinax cable delivers 10 Gbit/s throughput with minimal signal loss at short distances, reducing latency compared to optical interconnects for the same span. The integrated male-to-male SFP+ connectors simplify installation and lower total cost by avoiding separate optical transceivers and fiber patch cords. Its fixed 1 m length helps maintain tidy rack layouts and predictable link performance in densely populated equipment racks.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections between switches in the same rack or adjacent racks
• Direct server-to-switch links requiring 10 Gbit/s bandwidth
• Patch replacement or consolidation of optical links where copper direct-attach is acceptable
• Data center top-of-rack and middle-of-row interconnects

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Twinax (direct-attach copper)
• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male
• Length: 1 m
• Latency: low, suitable for short-range high-speed links
• Typical use: rack-to-rack and switch-to-server connections

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the retention latch engages. Verify link status through device management interfaces and ensure both ends are configured for the desired 10 Gbit/s operation. Because this is a passive copper direct-attach cable, no separate transceivers, optical modules or additional power are required. Handle the cable and connectors carefully to avoid bending the cable bundle excessively and to protect the connector latches.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP+ twinax cable for short, fixed-length links within racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with your switch and server SFP+ ports and firmware; check vendor documentation for any port-level settings needed to recognize passive direct-attach cables.
