SFP+ Twinax kábel CBO 470-AAVJ-BL 3 m konektor samec-na-konektor samec 10 Gbit/s BlueOptics

The BlueOptics SFP+ Twinax Cable CBO 470-AAVJ-BL is a 3 m direct-attach cable with fixed male-to-male SFP+ connectors and a 10 Gbit/s data rate. Designed for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel interconnects, this passive twinax cable provides low latency and a compact connection option for rack-to-rack, top-of-rack and server-to-switch links. Its uniform blue jacket aids visual identification in dense cabling environments while maintaining a form factor compatible with standard SFP+ ports.

Advantages

The cable delivers a reliable, low-latency connection suitable for high-throughput, short-distance links without requiring separate transceivers. Passive SFP+ twinax technology reduces power consumption and overall hardware cost compared with optical modules plus fiber. A fixed 3 m length minimizes excess cabling in rack layouts and simplifies cable management while male-to-male SFP+ plugs ensure direct compatibility with standard SFP+ ports on switches, servers and NICs.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, servers and top-of-rack equipment
• Fibre Channel links in storage and SAN environments over short distances
• Rack-to-rack and intra-rack cabling where low latency and compact cabling are required
• Environments aiming to reduce power and transceiver costs by using direct-attach solutions

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ male-to-male (direct-attach)
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 3 metres
• Cable type: Passive twinax copper
• Typical applications: 10 GbE, Fibre Channel short-range interconnects
• Color: Blue outer jacket for easy identification

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices you intend to connect, ensuring the latches engage securely. Verify link status on both network devices and confirm that the ports are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation. No additional optics or transceivers are required; the cable functions as a direct-attach copper connection. Handle the cable without sharp bends and ensure strain relief at patch points to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable within typical datacenter ambient temperature ranges and avoid routing it near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Keep cable bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum and secure the cable to prevent accidental disconnection. Confirm compatibility with the device vendor’s supported direct-attach cables if vendor-specific validation is required.
