SFP+ Cable BlueOptics SFPP-DAC-1M-NA-BL 1m Plug/Plug

The BlueOptics SFPP-DAC-1M-NA-BL is a 1 meter SFP+ direct attach cable (DAC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for short-range, high-speed connections in data center and enterprise networking environments. This passive twinax copper cable supports 10G data rates over a 1 m distance and follows Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) SFP+ form-factor conventions to ensure interoperability with hardware that supports standard SFP+ DAC modules.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable offers a compact, low-latency physical link for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections. As a passive twinax copper cable it consumes negligible power, provides consistent electrical performance for 10GBase-CR applications, and is a cost-effective option for short-distance links. The 1 m length and SFP+ male-to-male connectors simplify installation in dense rack environments while keeping signal paths short and reliable.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbps connections between switches and servers
• Intra-rack or adjacent-rack networking in data centers
• Storage systems and network appliances with SFP+ ports
• Environments requiring low-latency, low-power connectivity

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+ (male/male)
• Transmission type: Passive twinax copper (DAC)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps over 1 m (10GBase-CR)
• Cable gauge: 30 AWG
• Color: Black
• Weight: 0.08 kg

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring proper orientation and a secure mechanical fit. Use this cable for direct electrical connections where the host hardware explicitly supports passive SFP+ DAC twinax cables. Verify that both devices are configured for 10G operation and that any vendor-specific firmware or port settings allow passive DACs. No external power or transceivers are required for operation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use this 1 m passive SFP+ DAC only for short-distance links (intra-rack or adjacent racks) and install in clean, strain-free routing paths. Confirm compatibility with your switch, router or storage vendor documentation for support of passive SFP+ DACs and test the link after installation.
