## Summary description

Passive Direct Attach Cable by BlueOptics for 10GBASE-CR links, with SFP+ connectors on both ends. Length 0.5 meters and conductor gauge AWG30. Designed for short-range, high-speed connections between compatible SFP+ ports in switches, servers and NICs. Suitable for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connectivity where a cost-effective, low-latency copper link is required.

## Long description

BlueOptics passive Direct Attach Cable (DAC) with SFP+ connectors at both ends provides a compact copper connection for 10GBASE-CR links. With a 0.5 m length and AWG30 conductor, this cable is made for short-range, high-speed interconnects between compatible SFP+ ports in switches, servers and network interface cards. The design targets low-latency, power-efficient connections inside racks or between adjacent racks where fiber is unnecessary.
Advantages
The passive SFP+ to SFP+ cable delivers consistent 10 Gbps connectivity without the need for optical transceivers or separate patch cords. Its short 0.5 m length reduces signal attenuation and latency compared with longer copper runs, while the AWG30 conductor provides a balance of flexibility and transmission integrity. The integrated SFP+ connectors ensure predictable electrical characteristics and plug-and-play operation with compatible equipment.
Suitable for
 Short-range switch-to-switch connections within a rack
 Server-to-top-of-rack switch uplinks
 Direct connections between NICs and nearby network equipment
 High-density environments requiring compact cabling
Key specifications
 Interface: SFP+ on both ends for 10GBASE-CR electrical links
 Length: 0.5 meter
 Conductor gauge: AWG30
 Link speed: 10 Gbps per port
 Cable type: Passive copper direct attach
 Typical application: Intra-rack and short inter-rack connectivity
How to use
Ensure both devices support 10GBASE-CR and accept passive SFP+ direct attach cables. With systems powered down or in a hot-plug supported state, insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it latches. Verify link status in device management interfaces and confirm negotiated 10 Gbps operation. To remove, release the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the port or cable.
Usage recommendations
Use this 0.5 m AWG30 SFP+ DAC for short, fixed interconnects where low latency and low power are priorities. Avoid tight bends near the connector and do not exceed the specified length environment; check compatibility lists for controller and switch support if vendor lock-in or firmware checks are suspected.
