## Summary description

Passive SFP+ Direct Attach Cable by BlueOptics, designed for 10GBASE-CR connections. This 2-meter AWG30 copper twinax cable provides a direct SFP+ to SFP+ link for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet between compatible network devices and NICs (notably compatible with NVIDIA 980-9I68B-00J002).

## Long description

The BlueOptics SFP+ Direct Attach Cable 10GBASE-CR is a passive twinax copper cable engineered for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between SFP+ ports. With a 2 m length and AWG30 conductors, the cable provides a direct SFP+ to SFP+ connection for servers, switches and storage devices in rack and data center environments. The product is compatible with a range of SFP+ host devices and network interface cards designed for 10GBASE-CR operation.
Advantages
This passive SFP+ direct attach cable offers low-latency, energy-efficient connectivity without the need for separate transceivers, reducing power consumption and component count. Its fixed 2 m length and AWG30 gauge deliver predictable electrical characteristics and consistent 10 Gigabit performance across short distances. The direct-attach form factor simplifies installation and saves rack space compared with fiber transceivers and patch cords.
Suitable for
 Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between servers and switches
 Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch-to-server interconnects in data centers
 High-density storage array and NIC connections requiring SFP+ ports
Key specifications
 Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ (direct attach, passive)
 Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-CR)
 Length: 2 meters
 Cable construction: AWG30 twinax copper
 Form factor: Fixed direct-attach cable (no separate transceivers)
 Operating environment: Rack and data center short-reach links
How to use
Insert each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the communicating devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated firmly and that the connected devices are powered and configured for 10GBASE-CR operation. Verify link status and speed via the host device management interface. For mixed-vendor environments, confirm compatibility in device firmware or compatibility lists before deployment.
Usage recommendations
Use the cable for short, fixed connections within racks or between adjacent racks where 2 m reach is sufficient. Avoid tight bends and excessive strain on the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For deployments requiring longer distances or optical isolation, consider fiber-based SFP+ transceivers and patch cabling.
