SFP+ cable CBO S+DA0005-BL 5 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s

BlueOptics SFP+ cable CBO S+DA0005-BL is a 5 m twinax passive direct-attach copper cable with male-to-male SFP+ connectors and support for 10 Gbit/s data rates. It is intended for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections between compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network appliances. The cable provides a compact cabling option for rack-to-rack and within-rack links where low latency and reliable 10 Gigabit throughput are required.

Advantages

The CBO S+DA0005-BL twinax cable reduces complexity by eliminating separate transceivers and uses a single integrated assembly for a direct SFP+ connection. Its passive design offers low power consumption and predictable signal characteristics at short distances, while the 5 m length balances reach and cable management for typical data centre layouts. The male-to-male SFP+ connectors ensure compatibility with standard SFP+ ports that accept direct-attach copper assemblies.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between SFP+ ports in the same rack or adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch links in data centres and colocation facilities
• Top-of-rack aggregation and rack interconnects
• Network appliances and storage systems requiring 10 Gbit/s direct connectivity

Key specifications

• Cable type: twinax direct-attach copper (DAC)
• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male
• Supported data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 5 meters
• Use case: short-reach, within-rack and rack-to-rack links
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications

How to use

Insert each male SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices until the connector latches. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to use the SFP+ interface. Verify link status in the device management interface or LEDs on the ports. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress. If the connected equipment requires specific adapter or compatibility settings, configure the network interfaces accordingly before production use.

Usage recommendations

Use this 5 m SFP+ twinax cable for short-distance 10 Gbit/s links where passive direct-attach assemblies are supported by your hardware. Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures outside the operating range specified by your equipment vendor and maintain bend radius as recommended to preserve signal integrity.
