Cable de conexión directa SFP+ CBO BlueOptics 2052246-6-BL 2m conector macho-conector macho 10 Gbit/s

SFP+ Direct-Attach Cable CBO BlueOptics 2052246-6-BL 2m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s is a 2-metre passive twinax cable with SFP+ connectors at both ends, designed for short-reach 10 Gbit/s links. It connects network switches, servers and network interface cards (NICs) with a low-latency, energy-efficient physical link that eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers for close-proximity interconnects. The cable is intended for rack-to-rack and within-rack connections where high throughput and minimal signal conversion are required.

Advantages

The direct-attach twinax design provides a simple, low-power and cost-effective 10 Gbit/s connection without additional optics or transceiver modules. Its passive construction results in low latency and predictable signal performance over the specified 2 m distance. The male-to-male SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with devices that accept SFP+ direct-attach cables and facilitates straightforward installation and replacement in data centre and server-room environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbit/s links between switches in the same rack or adjacent racks
• Direct connections between servers and top-of-rack switches
• High-throughput links for blade servers or NICs requiring low-latency cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: Passive twinax
• Nominal length: 2 metres
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Intended reach: short-reach/rack-to-rack and within-rack interconnects
• Latency: low (passive electrical connection)

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the latches engage securely. No additional configuration or optical transceivers are required; the link will appear to the devices as a standard 10 Gbit/s SFP+ connection. Verify link status in your switch or server management interface and, if necessary, adjust interface settings such as speed, duplex and MTU to match network requirements. For safe handling, avoid sharp bends and undue mechanical stress near the connector ends.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, fixed-length connections inside racks or between adjacent racks where the 2 m length is appropriate. Avoid using passive twinax cables beyond their intended short-reach distance. Maintain moderate bend radius, secure cable routing to prevent strain on SFP+ connectors, and confirm device compatibility with SFP+ direct-attach twinax cabling before deployment.
