SFP+ Transceiver CBO PAN-SFP-PLUS-T Copper Wire 10GbE SFP+ Direct Attach

SFP+ Transceiver CBO PAN-SFP-PLUS-T Copper Wire 10GbE SFP+ Direct Attach is a copper direct-attach SFP+ module designed for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The module provides a hot-pluggable SFP+ interface compatible with switches, routers and servers that accept SFP+ modules, enabling direct copper connections without fiber optics. Intended for in-rack and short-distance interconnects, it supports low-latency, high-throughput connections where fiber transceivers are unnecessary.

Advantages

This copper-wire SFP+ direct attach transceiver offers straightforward installation and immediate compatibility with standard SFP+ ports, reducing the need for additional cabling adapters. The solution provides cost-effective short-range 10GbE connectivity, low power consumption compared with some optical alternatives, and predictable latency for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links. Hot-pluggable design allows swaps and upgrades without powering down equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections inside data center racks
• Server-to-top-of-rack and switch-to-switch 10GbE links
• Network clusters and blade server interconnects
• Environments where copper DAC is preferred over fiber

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ direct attach (copper)
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE)
• Interface: Hot-pluggable SFP+ connector
• Cable type: Copper direct-attach cable (DAC)
• Reach: Short-distance, in-rack / intra-rack links
• Latency: Low-latency design suitable for high-performance networking
• Power consumption: Low relative to many optical SFP+ transceivers

How to use

Insert the SFP+ module into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or server until it clicks into place, then connect the copper direct-attach cable to the mating SFP+ port on the remote device. Ensure device firmware and OS network drivers support SFP+ copper DAC modules; verify link speed and duplex settings if necessary. For hot-swapping, remove the tab and pull the module straight out while the device remains powered, or follow vendor procedures for safe removal.

Usage recommendations

Use in short-reach, in-rack connections where 10GbE performance is required and fiber cabling is not necessary. Verify compatibility with your network equipment vendor and maintain appropriate cable bend radii and rack management to preserve signal integrity and airflow.
