Network Cable BlueOptics FN-CABLE-SFP+2 SFP+ DAC 2m Black

The BlueOptics FN-CABLE-SFP+2 SFP+ DAC 2m Black is a 2-metre direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for short-range, high-speed connections between network devices. It delivers reliable, low-latency data transmission suitable for top-of-rack switches, storage arrays and network interface cards that support SFP+ ports. The black jacket offers a professional appearance and robust protection for the internal conductors.

Advantages

This SFP+ DAC cable provides high-performance connectivity with minimal power consumption and low latency compared to optical transceivers. The fixed 2 m length simplifies cable management in racks and cabinets while reducing the need for additional optics and transceivers. The cable’s construction emphasizes signal integrity and mechanical durability for consistent operation in enterprise and data center environments.

Suitable for

• Short-distance server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections within racks
• High-throughput storage and SAN interconnects
• Data center top-of-rack and middle-of-row cabling
• High-performance computing clusters and network aggregation points

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ direct attach copper (DAC)
• Length: 2 metres
• Data rate: supports SFP+ 10 Gbit/s applications
• Connector orientation: SFP+ compatible plug-and-play ends
• Cable jacket colour: black
• Construction: shielded twinax copper for low EMI and preserved signal integrity

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered and configured for 10 Gbit/s operation if required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius for twinax cable to preserve performance. No additional transceivers or fibre patch cords are required when using this DAC cable.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the cable for interconnections within the same rack or adjacent racks where a 2 m length is appropriate. Verify port compatibility and firmware settings on switches and servers to ensure link negotiation at the desired speed. Avoid tension and excessive bending; store and handle the cable to prevent kinks or damage to connectors.
