DAC SFP+ kábel CBO MCP2102-X04AB 10 Gbps, 5 m

The BlueOptics DAC SFP+ cable CBO MCP2102-X04AB 10Gbps, 5 m is a fixed Direct Attach Copper (DAC) SFP+ assembly that provides a reliable short-reach link for 10Gbps networks. It connects devices with SFP+ ports — for example, switches, servers and network interface cards — over a 5 meter passive copper cable. The design emphasizes low latency and low power consumption characteristic of passive copper interconnects, making it suitable for high-density rack environments and top-of-rack connectivity.

Advantages

This SFP+ DAC cable offers a fixed-length, ready-to-use connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patching for short distances. Passive copper construction provides minimal signal conversion overhead, resulting in low latency and reduced power draw compared with active optical solutions. The 5 m length is optimized for rack-to-rack and within-rack runs, enabling tidy cable management and predictable performance in data center and enterprise network deployments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between switches in the same rack or adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch links within data center and server room environments
• High-density top-of-rack deployments requiring 10Gbps connectivity

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 5 meters (fixed)
• Cable type: Passive copper Direct Attach
• Typical use: Short-reach, within-rack and adjacent-rack connectivity

How to use

Install the DAC SFP+ cable by inserting each SFP+ end into the corresponding device SFP+ port until the connector latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for the intended 10Gbps link; most modern network devices will auto-negotiate the link once the cable is seated. Avoid excessive bending of the copper cable near the connector boots and secure cable routing to prevent strain on the SFP+ modules and device ports.

Recommendations

For optimal operation, use this passive 5 m DAC cable for links inside racks or between adjacent racks where 10Gbps is sufficient. Verify device compatibility with passive SFP+ assemblies in the network equipment documentation, and maintain appropriate airflow and cable management to preserve port and connector integrity.
