Cabo direct-attach SFP+ CBO MC3309130-002-BL 2 m macho-macho 10 Gbit/s

CBO MC3309130-002-BL is a 2-metre SFP+ direct-attach copper cable with male-to-male connectors supporting 10 Gbit/s data transfer. It connects SFP+ ports on switches, servers or network interface cards for short-range, high-bandwidth links. The fixed-cable design removes the need for separate transceivers and optical patch cords, providing a compact, power-efficient solution for dense rack environments and short interconnects.

Advantages

The SFP+ direct-attach cable offers low latency and minimal signal loss across short distances, while consuming less power than equivalent transceiver-plus-fibre setups. Its integrated male SFP+ connectors simplify installation and reduce the number of field-replaceable parts. The 2 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections without excess cable slack, and the copper construction offers consistent performance in typical data centre temperatures.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections between top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches
• Direct server-to-switch links and NIC-to-switch connections
• Rack-to-rack interconnects within the same equipment room
• High-performance networking in data centres and lab environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male
• Length: 2 metres
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable medium: copper direct-attach
• Typical use range: short-reach interconnects (rack/intra-rack)
• Power profile: lower power consumption compared with transceiver-based links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the devices are powered and configured for 10 Gbit/s operation. Use cable management to route the 2 m cable without sharp bends and avoid tight kinking near the connectors. When removing, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stress on ports.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, server or NIC vendor before deployment and confirm that SFP+ ports are enabled for copper DAC operation. For reliable operation, avoid running the cable near high-EMI equipment and maintain bend radius recommendations; replace the cable if connectors show physical damage.
