Cabo SFP+ Direct-Attach CBO 45W2409-BL 3m macho para macho 10 Gbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP+ Direct-Attach Cable 45W2409-BL is a 3 m male-to-male copper cable that supports 10 Gbit/s links for short-range interconnects. It is intended for direct connections between switches, servers and storage devices that have SFP+ ports. The fixed-cable design provides a low-latency, high-bandwidth connection without the need for separate active transceivers, simplifying rack-to-rack and device-to-device cabling in data center and server-room environments.

Advantages

This SFP+ direct-attach cable delivers a reliable 10 Gbit/s data rate over a short 3 m distance and uses standard male SFP+ connectors for broad compatibility with SFP+-equipped networking equipment. The fixed copper assembly reduces power consumption and cost by eliminating active optical transceivers, while the direct-attach form factor minimizes link latency and physical space requirements. The cable's design focuses on plug-and-play usability and predictable electrical performance for high-speed interconnects.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbit/s connections between switches
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage links in racks
• Patch and direct links inside data centers and server rooms
• Situations where low latency and reduced transceiver cost are priorities

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male (direct-attach cable)
• Media: copper direct-attach assembly
• Typical use: short-range, fixed interconnects (rack-to-rack or device-to-device)

How to use

Ensure both devices have free SFP+ ports and support passive direct-attach cables. Power down if required by the equipment vendor or follow hot-plug guidance in the device manuals. Insert each male connector into the respective SFP+ slot until it latches securely. Verify link status on connected devices and configure network settings as needed for a 10 Gbit/s link. For removal, release the connector latch and pull the cable straight out to avoid damaging the ports.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short fixed links within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends near the connector area, keep the cable clear of airflow obstructions in server cabinets, and confirm vendor compatibility for passive SFP+ assemblies before deployment.
