BlueOptics SFP+ Direct Attach Cable OS6360-CBL-C1M 10GBASE-CR 1 m (blue)

BlueOptics SFP+ Direct Attach Cable OS6360-CBL-C1M 10GBASE-CR 1 m (blue) is a 1-meter twinax copper assembly that provides a fixed, low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet link between SFP+ ports. The cable implements the 10GBASE-CR electrical specification for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections and is intended for direct server-to-switch or switch-to-switch interconnects where an integrated, cost-effective copper solution is preferred over optical modules and fiber. Its pre-terminated SFP+ connectors remove the need for separate transceivers and simplify rack cabling in data centers and network closets.

Advantages

The direct attach cable offers reduced latency and lower power consumption compared with separate optical transceivers and fiber, while maintaining full 10 Gbps data rate. The one-meter length is suited for close-proximity ports, minimizing excess cabling and improving airflow in racks. The twinax copper construction delivers stable signal integrity for short-distance links and the pre-mated SFP+ ends simplify installation and asset management.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in rack-mounted environments
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Top-of-rack (ToR) and leaf-spine architectures for short-reach links
• Environments where reduced power and lower component count are desired

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+
• Standard: 10GBASE-CR (10 Gigabit Ethernet over twinax copper)
• Length: 1 m
• Cable type: Twinax copper
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Color: Blue
• Typical use range: short-reach, within rack or adjacent racks

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support passive SFP+ direct attach copper cables and are powered down or follow hot-swap guidance from the device manufacturer when connecting live equipment. After seating the cable, verify link status and speed via device management interfaces and monitor for stable connectivity. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Choose this 1 m direct attach cable for short-distance, high-speed links where power efficiency and low latency are priorities. Match port types and verify vendor compatibility when used in mixed-brand deployments; for longer distances or optical isolation, select fiber-based transceivers instead.
