## Summary description

Passive SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable by BlueOptics, 3 meters length, AWG30 conductors, designed for 10GBASE-CR links. Compatible with NVIDIA 980-9I68I-00J02A form-factor implementations. Intended for short-range server, switch and storage interconnects requiring a low-latency, low-power copper connection using SFP+ ports.

## Long description

BlueOptics SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable 3 m is a passive copper twinax cable designed for 10GBASE-CR links between SFP+ ports. With a 3‑meter length and AWG30 conductors, this cable provides a low‑latency, low‑power physical connection suitable for short‑range interconnects in racks and data center topologies. It follows the SFP+ electrical interface and is compatible with common SFP+ host implementations that accept passive direct attach twinax assemblies.
Advantages
This passive SFP+ to SFP+ cable offers predictable electrical performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances, minimized power consumption compared with optical transceivers plus fiber, and reduced latency due to the direct copper link. The AWG30 conductor gauge balances flexibility and signal integrity while the fixed 3 m length simplifies rack planning. Being a direct attach assembly, it eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords, reducing component count and simplifying installation.
Suitable for
Server-to-switch connections within the same rack or adjacent racks
Switch-to-switch short‑reach uplinks in data center top-of-rack environments
Storage array connections requiring 10GbE links with low latency
Key specifications
Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ direct attach (passive twinax)
Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-CR)
Length: 3 meters
Conductor gauge: AWG30
Cable type: Copper twinax, fixed assembly
Typical application: Short-reach 10GbE interconnects
How to use
Install the BlueOptics SFP+ to SFP+ cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on the two devices until the connectors latch. Ensure both devices support passive SFP+ direct attach assemblies and are configured for 10GBASE-CR operation. Avoid tight bends near the connector bodies and allow strain relief at the cable ends. No separate power or transceivers are required for the link to function.
Usage recommendations
Confirm compatibility with your network equipment vendor’s SFP+ port specifications before deployment and verify link status after insertion. For reliable operation, maintain bend radii larger than the minimum recommended for AWG30 twinax and avoid routing the cable near high‑power heat sources or strong electromagnetic interference. Use the 3 m length for same‑rack or adjacent‑rack connections rather than long spans.
