SFP+ Direct-Attach kábel CBO 0,5 m konektor-konektor MCP2100-X00AB-BL

BlueOptics SFP+ Direct-Attach Cable MCP2100-X00AB-BL is a 0.5 m male-to-male SFP+ assembly designed for short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other SFP+ compatible links. The compact cable integrates two SFP+ connectors on a single assembly, eliminating the need for separate optical or copper transceivers. It provides a low-latency, power-efficient connection for top-of-rack switch-to-switch, switch-to-server or server-to-server interconnects and simplifies cabling in dense rack environments.

Advantages

The direct-attach design reduces component count and installation steps compared with separate transceivers and patch cables, lowering cost and complexity for short links. A fixed 0.5 m length minimizes signal loss and latency while keeping cable management tidy in constrained rack spaces. The integrated SFP+ connectors deliver reliable electrical performance compatible with common 10GbE ports and reduce power consumption versus active optical solutions.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10GbE connections in data center racks
• Top-of-rack switch-to-server links
• Server-to-server direct links in dense deployments
• Port pairing and high-density patching in limited cable space

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male-to-male direct-attach cable
• Length: 0.5 meter
• Data rate: supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and SFP+ compatible data rates
• Cable colour: black
• Form factor: fixed assembly with integrated SFP+ connectors
• Latency: low, suitable for short electrical links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the module latches. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for the same data rate and link settings. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required. Verify link status via the equipment management interface or front-panel LEDs and, if necessary, adjust port settings such as speed or auto-negotiation according to device documentation.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m direct-attach cable for short, fixed-length connections inside racks where distances are within a single cabinet or adjacent cabinets. Avoid excessive bending near connectors, keep the cable away from high-heat sources, and confirm device compatibility with passive SFP+ assemblies in vendor interoperability lists before deployment.
