SFP+ Direct Attach Cable CBO QFX-SFP-DAC-1M-BL 1 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

CBO QFX-SFP-DAC-1M-BL is a 1 m SFP+ Direct Attach Cable with male-to-male connectors designed for 10 Gbit/s links. It is intended for short-distance, high-speed connections between SFP+ ports in switches, servers or storage systems. The passive copper assembly offers low latency and energy-efficient operation, providing an economical alternative to optical transceivers and fiber for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connectivity.

Advantages

The cable supports 10 Gbit/s data rates over a 1 m length with direct SFP+ compatibility, enabling plug-and-play deployment without additional transceiver modules. Low insertion loss and minimal signal processing reduce latency and power consumption compared with active optical solutions. Its fixed-length, male-to-male design simplifies cable management in dense rack environments and reduces overall system cost for short-reach links.

Suitable for

• High-speed connections between SFP+ ports on switches
• Server-to-switch links within the same rack
• Storage array connections requiring low latency
• Short-distance interconnects in data center topologies

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 1 meter
• Cable type: copper direct attach (passive)
• Typical use: short-reach, rack-to-rack or intra-rack links
• Latency: low (passive copper link)

How to use

Connect each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network switch, server or storage device until the connector latches. Ensure ports are rated for 10 Gbit/s operation and that firmware or port settings allow direct attach copper cables. After physical installation, verify link status and speed through the device management interface and adjust port settings if necessary.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable for short-reach connections up to 1 m and avoid routing near strong electromagnetic interference sources. Maintain proper rack airflow and avoid excessive bending or tension on the cable; follow device vendor guidance for SFP+ port insertion and removal procedures.
