Cabo SFP56 CBO BL060601Y0.5M30-BL 0,5 m macho-macho 50 Gbit/s

Direct-attach CBO SFP56 cable BL060601Y0.5M30-BL is a 0.5 m male-to-male twinax interconnect engineered for short-range, high-speed links. Supporting 50 Gbit/s data rates, this compact cable connects SFP56 ports on servers, switches and top-of-rack devices to provide a fixed, low-latency connection inside racks and patch panels. The cable’s half-meter length reduces excess slack and helps maintain tidy rack layouts while delivering the bandwidth required for modern data-center traffic.

Advantages

This CBO SFP56 cable offers a reliable direct-attach solution with native SFP56 form-factor compatibility and a short physical length that minimizes signal loss and latency. Its construction provides stable 50 Gbit/s throughput for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections within a rack. The male-to-male terminations ensure a secure, tool-free connection to SFP56 ports, simplifying deployment and maintenance in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections inside server racks and between adjacent racks
• Direct links between SFP56 ports on network switches and servers
• Top-of-rack and leaf-spine architectures requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links
• Data-center patching where fixed, compact interconnects are preferred

Key specifications

• Rated data rate: 50 Gbit/s
• Length: 0.5 m (fixed)
• Connector type: male SFP56-to-male SFP56 (direct-attach twinax)
• Intended use: short-reach, direct-attach interconnect within racks
• Typical deployment: server-to-switch, switch-to-switch, top-of-rack links

How to use

Insert each male SFP56 connector into the corresponding SFP56 port until it seats securely; no additional transceivers or power supplies are required. Use the 0.5 m length to connect adjacent devices or ports within the same rack to minimize excess cable and maintain airflow. Verify that connected ports are configured for 50 Gbit/s operation in the network devices’ interface settings and confirm link status through device management tools.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive stress on the cable. Maintain a clean environment around connectors and ensure compatible SFP56 ports on both ends. Use this short direct-attach cable for intra-rack connections and replace with active optical or longer passive options for extended distances.
