Cable SFP+ BlueOptics SFPP-DAC-1M-SY-BL 1 m conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics SFPP-DAC-1M-SY-BL is a 1 metre SFP+ direct attach cable (DAC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for short-reach, high-speed data links. It is a passive twinax copper cable that supports 10GBase-CR electrical signalling over a 1 m distance and is suitable for rack-to-rack and adjacent-rack interconnects in data centre and enterprise networking environments. The cable is black, lightweight and intended for use with hardware platforms that support SFP+ passive DACs.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable provides a low-latency, low-power connection for short-distance links and avoids the need for transceivers and fibre patching. As a passive 10G twinax copper solution, it offers straightforward installation, minimal failure points and cost-effective performance for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet, FCoE and compatible storage or networking protocols. Compliance with SFP+ MSA electrical and mechanical interfaces ensures interoperability with devices that support passive DAC modules.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers within racks or between adjacent racks
• Linking servers to top-of-rack or aggregation switches
• Short-distance 10 Gbit/s Ethernet and FCoE links in data centres

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+ (male/male)
• Cable type: passive twinax copper (DAC)
• Rated data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s over 1 m
• Cable length: 1 m
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Colour: black
• Weight: approximately 0.08 kg

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ ports of the two devices until the latch engages. Ensure both connected devices support passive SFP+ DAC cables and are powered off or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the device manufacturer. After connection, verify link status and speed in the network equipment management interface or LED indicators to confirm a 10 Gbit/s link.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics 1 m SFP+ DAC for short, direct links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force on the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Confirm compatibility with your switch, router or server model and, where possible, test a sample in your environment before large deployments.
