SFP+ Direct Attach kábel CBO MCP2102-X00AB-BL 0,5 m konektor samec na konektor samec, čierny

The BlueOptics SFP+ Direct Attach Cable MCP2102-X00AB-BL is a 0.5 m male-to-male passive twinax cable in black, engineered for short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between devices with SFP+ ports. Its compact, fixed-length design provides a low-latency, cost-effective solution for point-to-point links in racks and data centre topologies, enabling direct interconnects between switches, routers, servers and storage appliances without the need for transceivers or additional adapters.

Advantages

This SFP+ direct attach cable delivers reliable 10GbE connectivity with minimal signal loss and very low latency. The fixed 0.5 m length simplifies cable management in dense rack environments and reduces clutter compared with longer or bulkier assemblies. Being a passive twinax assembly, it offers energy-efficient operation with no separate power requirements and straightforward plug-and-play installation for compatible SFP+ ports. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance for professional installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit short-reach connections between switches in the same rack
• Direct links from servers to top-of-rack switches
• Interconnects between storage systems and host adapters within a rack
• High-density cabling in data centres and telecommunication rooms

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male (direct attach twinax)
• Length: 0.5 metres (fixed)
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE)
• Cable type: Passive twinax copper assembly
• Colour: Black jacket
• Usage environment: Rack- and data-centre cabling for short-reach links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the latch engages and the connectors are fully seated. Use the 0.5 m length to route the cable cleanly within a rack or between adjacent units, avoiding sharp bends and excessive strain on the connectors. No configuration or power is required for the cable itself; once plugged in, connected devices should detect the physical link and negotiate network settings according to their firmware and OS configurations.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, verify device compatibility with passive SFP+ twinax cables and ensure ports support 10GbE passive direct attach connections. Maintain bend radii recommended by the manufacturer, avoid kinking the cable, and secure it within the rack to prevent mechanical stress. Use this short, fixed-length cable for intra-rack links or adjacent-unit connections where a compact, low-latency 10GbE link is required.
