## Summary description

Passive SFP+ direct attach copper cable from BlueOptics, compatible with 10GBASE-CR links. This 5 m AWG24 cable provides a fixed SFP+ to SFP+ connection for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects between switches, NICs or storage devices. It is intended for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections where passive copper DACs are supported.

## Long description

BlueOptics passive SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable 10GBASE-CR, 5 m, AWG24 is a factory-terminated copper DAC designed for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The cable integrates SFP+ connectors on both ends and supports 10GBASE-CR electrical signalling over a 5 m AWG24 twinax assembly, providing a fixed, low-latency connection between compatible SFP+ ports in switches, network interface cards and storage devices. The compact design is intended for rack-to-rack or within-rack interconnects where passive direct attach copper is accepted by the equipment.
Advantages
This passive SFP+ direct attach cable offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to optical transceivers for short distances. Its fixed-length twinax construction reduces installation time by eliminating separate transceivers and patch cords. The AWG24 copper gauge provides signal integrity suitable for 10GBASE-CR operation up to 5 m, while the integrated SFP+ plugs ensure mechanical compatibility with standard cages and ports. The cable requires no external power or cooling beyond what the host devices provide.
Suitable for
 Rack-to-rack 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within data centre rows
 Within-rack interconnects between switches and servers
 Direct links from network interface cards (NICs) to switches
 Short-range storage array connections where SFP+ ports are available
Key specifications
 Connector type: SFP+ plug to SFP+ plug
 Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-CR)
 Cable length: 5 m
 Cable construction: AWG24 twinax copper
 Latency: passive, minimal signal delay suitable for low-latency links
 Compatibility: for devices that support passive SFP+ DACs and 10GBASE-CR signalling
How to use
Verify that both devices support passive SFP+ direct attach copper cables and 10GBASE-CR links. Power down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by your equipment vendor if required. Align each integrated SFP+ plug with the device SFP+ cage and insert until the latch engages. Confirm link negotiation and speed settings on both devices; ensure firmware and driver compatibility where applicable. For removal, depress the latch and carefully extract the plug to avoid bending the cable near the connector.
Usage recommendations
Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use this passive DAC for short-reach connections up to 5 m and choose active optical solutions for longer distances or environments requiring electrical isolation. Keep the SFP+ connector dust caps when not in use and perform regular port cleaning per equipment guidelines.
