Cable SFP+ CBO 470-13572-BL 1 m conector macho-conector macho 10 Gbit/s

BlueOptics SFP+ Cable CBO 470-13572-BL is a 1 metre copper direct-attach cable with male-to-male SFP+ connectors rated for 10 Gbit/s. It is designed for short-range, high-bandwidth links between compatible SFP+ ports in switches, servers and other network appliances. The cable delivers plug-and-play connectivity with low latency and compact cabling suitable for racks and dense data centre topologies.

Advantages

The cable supports 10 Gbit/s data rates over a short reach, offering a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers and fibre for direct interconnections. Its fixed copper assembly eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fibre patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing component count. The 1 m length minimizes excess slack in rack environments, and the SFP+ male-to-male connectors ensure compatibility with standard SFP+ ports that accept direct-attach copper modules.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10 Gbit/s uplinks between switches
• Direct connections between servers and network appliances
• Top-of-rack connectivity in data centres
• High-density cabling in rack-mounted equipment

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male
• Length: 1 metre
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Media: copper direct-attach cable
• Typical use: short-reach interconnects in racks and data centres
• Latency: low, suitable for high-performance network links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your switch, server or appliance until the connector latches. Confirm link status through the device management interface or front-panel indicators; the connection is typically recognised automatically without additional configuration. For best results, route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive strain on the connectors. When removing the cable, release the latch or pull tab before extracting the connector to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP+ copper cable for short-reach links within a rack or between adjacent racks where 10 Gbit/s performance is required and optical transceivers are not necessary. Ensure the connected devices support SFP+ direct-attach copper modules and follow manufacturer guidance on supported cable assemblies to maintain compatibility and warranty coverage.
