## Summary description

Passive SFP+ direct attach cable from BlueOptics compliant with 10GBASE-CR, designed for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between SFP+ ports. The 3 m AWG30 twinax cable provides a fixed SFP+ to SFP+ connection without active components, suitable for server, switch and storage interconnects in data centers and rack environments.

## Long description

BlueOptics Direct Attach Cable 10GBASE-CR SFP+ to SFP+ passive, 3 m AWG30 is a factory-terminated twinax assembly designed for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between SFP+ ports. The cable provides a fixed SFP+ to SFP+ connection without active components, offering low latency and predictable signal integrity for server, switch and storage interconnects in rack and data centre environments. The 3 metre length and AWG30 conductor gauge are intended for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack connections where a compact, low-power physical link is required.
Advantages
This passive SFP+ direct attach cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and reduces power consumption compared with optical modules. Its fixed SFP+ terminations simplify installation and reduce inventory complexity. The twinax construction provides controlled impedance and consistent channel performance for 10GBASE-CR applications, while the 3 m length supports common short-range layouts in data centres and communications closets.
Suitable for
Interconnecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers within the same rack
Server-to-switch connections in data centre top-of-rack configurations
Storage array links requiring short, high-speed copper connections
Patch and cross-connect applications where low latency is needed
Key specifications
Standard: 10GBASE-CR compliant for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+ fixed terminations
Length: 3 metres
Cable gauge: AWG30 twinax
Operation: Passive, no active electronics or optical conversion
Typical use range: Short-reach/rack-level connections
How to use
Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch clicks into place. Ensure both devices support passive SFP+ direct attach cables and are configured for 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve electrical performance. If link negotiation does not occur, check port settings, firmware compatibility and whether the device vendor permits passive twinax modules.
Usage recommendations
Use this 3 m AWG30 passive SFP+ cable for short-distance, low-latency connections in racks and adjacent cabinet setups. Verify device compatibility with passive SFP+ twinax assemblies and handle the cable carefully to avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius or applying tensile stress to the connectors.
