Cable Direct Attach Copper SFP+ CBO SFP-10G-DAC-0.5M-NG-BL 0,5 m conector a conector 10 Gbit/s

Direct Attach Copper SFP+ Cable CBO SFP-10G-DAC-0.5M-NG-BL is a short, 0.5 m male-to-male DAC cable designed for 10 Gbit/s interconnects between compatible SFP+ ports. The cable provides a direct electrical connection without separate transceivers, enabling low-latency and low-power links for switches, servers and network interface cards in data centers, server racks and other short-distance installations. Its compact length reduces cable clutter and is intended for close-proximity connections inside racks and between adjacent equipment.

Advantages

This 0.5 m direct-attach copper cable delivers a cost-effective alternative to optical links for short runs while maintaining 10 Gbit/s throughput. The plug-and-play male-to-male design eliminates the need for additional transceiver modules, simplifying installation and reducing power consumption. The fixed copper assembly offers predictable latency and reliable electrical performance for short-reach applications, and its short length minimizes signal loss and cable management complexity.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between SFP+ ports on switches and routers within a rack
• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches or adjacent network devices
• High-density patching in data center environments and server rooms
• Short-reach links where optical transceivers are unnecessary or cost-prohibitive

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 0.5 m
• Cable type: Direct attach copper (DAC)
• Typical use: Short-reach electrical interconnects inside racks and between adjacent devices

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until the connector latches. Ensure both devices support direct-attach copper SFP+ modules and are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation as required. No additional transceiver modules or fiber patch cords are needed. Verify link status on device interfaces after connection and adjust port settings if necessary to match speed and duplex requirements.

Recommendations

Use this short DAC cable for intra-rack and adjacent-device connections to minimize latency and power use. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and maintain proper airflow around equipment. For longer distances or when optical isolation is required, consider using fiber-based transceivers and patch cords instead.
