BlueOptics MCP2102-X01AB kompatibilný BlueLAN DAC kábel, SFP+ na SFP+, pasívny, 10 Gbit/s, 2 m, čierny (MCP2102-X01AB-BL)

SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) passive cable by BlueOptics, model MCP2102-X01AB, 30 meters long, provides a fixed low-latency 10Gbps connection for network devices with SFP+ ports. The cable integrates SFP+ connectors on both ends and uses copper wiring to deliver a cost-efficient interconnect without separate transceivers. It is designed for short to medium distance links in high-density rack environments, connecting switches, servers and other SFP+-equipped network equipment.

Advantages

This passive SFP+ DAC cable offers a reliable electrical connection with minimal latency and low power consumption because no active optical transceiver modules are required. The integrated design simplifies installation and reduces the number of components needed in the rack, which can lower both acquisition and operating costs. Its fixed-length copper construction provides consistent signal performance over the specified 30 m range and is suitable for environments where fiber transceivers are unnecessary or less economical.

Suitable for

• 10Gbps links between top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches
• Server-to-switch connections in data centers and enterprise racks
• High-density networking setups where space and power efficiency are important
• Short to medium distance interconnects within the same room or adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ electrical connectors on both ends
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 30 m
• Type: Passive copper direct attach cable
• Latency: Low, electrical link without optical conversion
• Power: No additional transceiver power required
• Compatibility: Intended for devices with SFP+ ports supporting DAC cables

How to use

Ensure both network devices have compatible SFP+ ports that support DAC passive cables. With devices powered on or off according to your equipment manufacturer's guidelines, insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it latches. Verify link status on the network devices and configure link settings (speed, duplex, MTU) as required by your network topology. For longer runs or different environments, confirm signal integrity and device compatibility before deployment.

Recommendations

Install and route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius. Use this 30 m passive DAC for intra-rack or short-distance inter-rack connections where electrical 10Gbps links meet performance and cost requirements. When mixing vendor equipment, check compatibility lists or test the link to ensure reliable operation.
