SFP+ Direct Attach Cable CBO 74752-1201-BL, 2 m, Male-to-Male, 10 Gbit/s

BlueOptics SFP+ Direct Attach Cable CBO 74752-1201-BL is a 2 metre male-to-male copper assembly designed for short-range 10 Gbit/s links between networking devices that have SFP+ ports. The cable provides a low-latency, energy-efficient physical connection suited to rack-to-rack, switch-to-switch or server-to-switch interconnects in data centre and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

The direct attach cable delivers a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for short distances, offering low power consumption and minimal signal latency. Its integrated male SFP+ connectors enable plug-and-play operation with compatible SFP+ ports, avoiding the need for separate transceiver modules and reducing installation complexity. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management in rack installations while maintaining 10 Gbit/s performance.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbit/s links between switches and routers
• Server-to-switch connections within racks
• Rack-to-rack interconnects in data centres
• High-density network deployments requiring low latency

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male
• Cable length: 2 metres
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Medium: passive copper direct attach
• Typical use range: short-range / within-rack and adjacent-rack
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications

How to use

Insert each male SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring connectors are fully seated and retention latches (if present) engage. No separate transceivers or patching devices are required. After physical installation, verify that device interfaces are enabled and configured for 10 Gbit/s operation and confirm link status through the network equipment management interface or LEDs.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance interconnects where 2 m reach is sufficient and where a low-cost, low-power solution is preferred. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and maintain appropriate routing to prevent strain. Verify compatibility with the vendor support list of your networking equipment before deployment to ensure full interoperability.
