Cable SFP28 CBO MCP2M00-A001E30N 1 m conector macho a conector macho 25 Gbit/s

The SFP28 Cable CBO MCP2M00-A001E30N 1 m Male-to-Male 25 Gbit/s is a direct-attach copper cable designed for short-reach, high-speed interconnects. This 1 metre cable provides a fixed, low-latency link between SFP28 ports in switches, servers and network appliances, supporting 25 Gbit/s data rates and plug-and-play operation for straightforward deployment in data centre and enterprise networking environments.

Advantages

This direct-attach SFP28 cable delivers a cost-effective, power-efficient alternative to optical transceivers for short distances. Its male-to-male SFP28 connector pair offers predictable latency and minimal signal conversion overhead, simplifying cabling between top-of-rack switches and servers or between adjacent networking devices. The integrated cable assembly reduces component compatibility issues and enables immediate link establishment without additional configuration.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack switch to server connections in data centres
• Interconnects between adjacent switches or network appliances
• High-density rack installations requiring reliable short-reach links
• Server-to-server connections within the same rack

Key specifications

• Connector type: Male-to-male SFP28
• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 1 m
• Transmission medium: Direct-attach copper (fixed assembly)
• Latency: Low, fixed-latency assembly suitable for short-reach links
• Compatibility: Designed for devices with SFP28 ports

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the devices you intend to link, ensuring the latch or ejector mechanism clicks into place. The cable requires no additional configuration; devices should detect the physical link and negotiate the 25 Gbit/s connection automatically. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this short, direct-attach cable for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections where distances do not exceed the recommended range for copper DACs. Verify that both devices support SFP28 direct-attach assemblies and check firmware or vendor compatibility lists if necessary. Avoid excessive bending and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connector housings.
