Cable twinax SFP+ CBO MC3309130-0A1-BL 2 m macho a macho 10 Gbit/s

BlueOptics SFP+ Twinax Cable MC3309130-0A1-BL is a 2 m direct-attach copper cable with male-to-male SFP+ connectors, designed for short-range 10 Gbit/s links. The cable provides a low-latency, energy-efficient connection suitable for interconnecting switches, server NICs and storage devices in data center top-of-rack and adjacent-rack deployments. It is a passive Twinax assembly intended to deliver reliable signal integrity for high-density rack environments.

Advantages

This SFP+ Twinax cable offers a fixed, cost-effective solution for short-distance 10 Gbit/s connections without the need for separate transceivers. Its 2 m length balances flexibility and tidy cable management in rack layouts. The male-to-male SFP+ terminations ensure compatibility with standard SFP+ ports, while the copper Twinax design provides low power consumption and minimal latency compared with optical alternatives for short links.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack switch to server NIC connections
• Switch-to-switch connections within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Interconnects between storage arrays and host adapters over short distances
• High-density patching in data centers requiring 10 Gbit/s throughput

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male-to-male
• Length: 2 meters
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Passive Twinax copper
• Typical use: Short-reach, direct-attach connections

How to use

Insert each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the retention latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and that port configurations (speed and duplex) match the intended 10 Gbit/s operation. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. For hot-plug operations, follow the equipment manufacturer's guidance to avoid port disruptions. When disconnecting, release the SFP+ latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid bending the cable ends.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the cable; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by equipment vendors. Use this direct-attach Twinax cable for short-range links inside racks or between adjacent racks; opt for optical transceivers and fibers for longer distances. Verify compatibility with the switch or server vendor list if strict interoperability requirements apply.
