Direct Attach Cable (DAC) CBO SFP+ BlueLAN SFP-10G-C.3 10G 30m

CBO BlueLAN SFP-10G-C.3 is a 10 Gigabit SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) with a 30-meter fixed copper link designed for short-range, high-bandwidth connections. Intended for direct SFP+ port-to-port connections in switches, servers and storage systems, this DAC provides a low-latency 10G connection without the need for separate transceiver modules. The cable is aimed at data center interconnects, rack-to-rack links and other environments that require consistent 10 Gigabit throughput and simplified cabling management.

Advantages

The fixed SFP+ DAC eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying installation and inventory. With a 30 m length it offers convenient distance for intra-rack and inter-rack connections while maintaining low latency and high signal integrity. The direct attach design reduces power consumption compared with optical modules and avoids fiber handling, making it easier to install and maintain in dense equipment layouts.

Suitable for

• Data center switch-to-switch connections within the same room or adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage links requiring 10G throughput
• High-throughput applications and virtualized environments
• Environments where low latency and stable wired 10G connectivity are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ direct attach (fixed copper DAC)
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second (10G)
• Length: 30 meters
• Transmission medium: copper twinax cable with integrated SFP+ connectors
• Latency: low, suitable for high-performance networking
• Typical use range: short-reach connections within racks or between adjacent racks

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking devices ensuring the latch engages securely. Verify link status on both connected devices and confirm 10G speed negotiation where applicable. No separate transceivers or fiber cabling are required; handle connectors by the housing and avoid excessive bending of the cable. For best results, route the cable to minimize strain and electromagnetic interference from nearby power sources.

Usage recommendations

Use this direct attach cable for reliable short-reach 10G links in data centers and server rooms. Ensure both devices support passive SFP+ DAC connections and check firmware or compatibility lists if available. Avoid tight bends, maintain recommended bend radius, and keep the cable away from high-power conductors to preserve signal quality.
