## Summary description

Passive 10GBASE-CR direct attach cable by BlueOptics with SFP+ connectors on both ends, 2 meters long and AWG30 conductor gauge. Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet short-reach connections between SFP+ ports in switches, servers or storage devices. Suitable for rack-to-rack or appliance-to-appliance links where a low-cost, low-power copper SFP+ interconnect is required.

## Long description

BlueOptics passive Direct Attach Cable 10GBASE-CR is a copper SFP+ to SFP+ interconnect designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet short-reach links. The cable has SFP+ connectors on both ends and a 2 m AWG30 conductor, providing a simple, low-power solution for connecting SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage devices. It is intended for short-distance connections such as within racks or between adjacent racks where optical transceivers are not required.
Advantages
This passive 10GBASE-CR cable offers a cost-effective alternative to fiber for short-reach 10 Gbit/s links, with low power consumption and plug-and-play operation. The SFP+ terminated cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reduces component count and simplifies inventory. Its copper construction provides stable electrical performance for intra-rack and inter-appliance connections and requires no external power or cooling specific to optical modules.
Suitable for
 Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between SFP+ ports in switches and routers
 Direct server-to-switch or server-to-storage links within a rack
 Appliance-to-appliance connections in data center topologies
 Temporary or permanent rack-to-rack links over short cable runs
Key specifications
 Interface: SFP+ to SFP+
 Standard: 10GBASE-CR (10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper)
 Length: 2 meters
 Conductor gauge: AWG30
 Cable type: Passive twinax copper direct attach
 Supported data rate: 10 Gbit/s
How to use
Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring proper orientation and a secure latch. No additional configuration is typically required on most Ethernet devices; the connected ports should negotiate at 10 Gbit/s if the devices support 10GBASE-CR over passive DACs. Avoid bending the cable sharply and ensure the run length does not exceed the specified 2 m to maintain signal integrity.
Usage recommendations
Use this passive DAC for short, cost-sensitive 10 Gbit/s links within racks or between adjacent racks. Ensure both devices explicitly support passive SFP+ DACs and 10GBASE-CR to avoid compatibility issues. Keep the cable run free from excessive mechanical stress and electromagnetic interference sources for reliable operation.
