SFP+ cable BlueOptics SFP-10GE-DAC-1M-BL 1m plug/plug

The BlueOptics SFP-10GE-DAC-1M-BL is a 1 metre SFP+ direct attach cable (DAC) with male SFP+ connectors on both ends. Designed for short-range high-speed links in racks and adjacent rack systems, this passive twinax copper cable supports 10GBase-CR electrical signaling and connects SFP+ ports on switches, routers, storage devices and other compatible network hardware. The cable is MSA-compliant and uses 30 AWG twinax conductor construction to provide reliable 10 Gbit/s performance over a 1 m distance.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable offers low latency and low power operation as a passive DAC, eliminating the need for additional transceiver modules or optical components for short-distance connections. Its male-to-male SFP+ interface ensures simple hot-pluggable installation into standard SFP+ ports. Built to industry MSA standards, the cable is compatible with major hardware platforms that support 10GBase-CR and provides a compact, cost-effective solution for high-density rack environments.

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector firmly into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the two devices to be connected, ensuring the latches engage. Use this cable only for short-range direct connections where both devices support passive DAC twinax cables and the 10GBase-CR electrical interface. No transceiver modules, external power or additional configuration are required at the cable level; network configuration and link negotiation are handled by the connected devices and their firmware.

Recommendations

For optimal reliability, route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks or mechanical strain and keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference. Verify device compatibility with passive 10G DACs and confirm supported link settings in the equipment documentation before deployment.
