Cabo DAC SFP+ CBO 10 Gbit/s 5 m modelo MCP2104-X03AB para portas SFP+

The CBO DAC SFP+ cable 10Gbps 5m model MCP2104-X03AB for SFP+ ports is a passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed to provide reliable short-range connectivity between devices with SFP+ ports. It supports a 10 Gbps line rate over a 5 meter copper assembly, enabling point-to-point links without the need for separate optical transceivers. The cable is intended for installation in environments such as server racks, top-of-rack switches and storage area network connections where low latency and energy-efficient operation are required.

Advantages

This DAC SFP+ cable delivers a fixed 10 Gbps connection with low latency and reduced power consumption compared with optical transceiver plus fiber setups. Its direct-attach design eliminates the need for separate SFP+ transceivers, simplifying deployment and reducing component count. The 5 m length offers flexibility for short to medium rack-to-rack or device-to-device runs while maintaining signal integrity over copper. The cable is compatible with standard SFP+ ports and provides a cost-effective option for high-density rack interconnects.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and network interface cards with SFP+ ports
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links within racks and between adjacent racks
• Storage area network (SAN) connections and short-range fibre-replacement links
• High-density data center top-of-rack cabling

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbps
• Physical medium: Direct attach copper
• Length: 5 meters
• Connection type: Fixed twinax copper assembly with integrated connectors
• Typical application: Short-range server, switch and storage interconnects

How to use

Install the DAC SFP+ cable by inserting each connector into the SFP+ port of the respective devices until the connector latches. Ensure both devices support SFP+ copper direct attach connections and are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the device vendor. After insertion, verify link status through the device management interface or LED indicators. For removal, depress the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port or cable.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-range, high-speed links where 10 Gbps performance and low power consumption are priorities. Avoid routing the cable near high-interference sources and maintain gentle bend radii to preserve signal integrity. Confirm host and switch compatibility with SFP+ DAC modules to ensure proper operation.
