Cabo SFP+ CBO 2032237-2-BL 2 m macho-macho 10 Gbit/s

SFP+ cable CBO 2032237-2-BL 2 m Male-to-Male 10 Gbit/s is a 2-metre direct-attached copper (DAC) cable designed for short-range high-speed connections between compatible SFP+ ports. Intended for server, switch and network interface deployments, the cable supports 10 Gbit/s data rates and provides a low-latency physical link without the need for separate transceivers. The plug-and-play form factor simplifies installation in data centres and rack environments while maintaining signal integrity for short-reach interconnections.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable offers a compact, cost-effective solution for short-distance 10 Gbit/s links, combining low latency and high throughput in a single assembly. The male-to-male connector arrangement ensures direct compatibility with SFP+ ports on switches, servers and adapters, avoiding additional module purchases. The 2 m length balances flexibility in rack cabling with minimized excess slack, and the direct copper design reduces power consumption compared with active optical alternatives for equivalent short-range connections.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting top-of-rack switches and access switches within the same rack
• Direct links between servers and storage controllers or host bus adapters
• Short-reach uplinks and aggregation links in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters that require low-latency 10 Gbit/s links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male direct-attach copper
• Cable length: 2 m
• Supported data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Typical application range: short-reach / intra-rack connections
• Form factor: twinax DAC with integrated SFP+ connectors

How to use

Plug each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices, ensuring the latch engages for a secure connection. No additional transceivers or fiber patching are required; the cable is recognised by most systems as a direct-attached link. Verify link negotiation and speed in the device management interface after insertion. For proper operation, use the cable within supported port configurations and follow equipment vendor guidance on compatibility.

Recommendations

Install the cable in a powered-down or live environment according to your organisation's maintenance procedures; avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the cable assembly, maintain clearance from heat sources, and route within rack management accessories to prevent interference. Check device firmware and vendor compatibility lists if unexpected link issues occur.
