Cabo TAP CBO TAPCABLE-0.5M-BL 0,5 m SFP+ para SFP+ cabo de ligação direta 10 Gbit/s

The CBO TAP Cable TAPCABLE-0.5M-BL is a 0.5 m copper direct-attach twinax cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed to provide a simple, low-latency 10 Gbit/s link between SFP+ ports. Intended for short-distance high-speed connections, this cable eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers and converts two SFP+ ports into a direct electrical connection, reducing power consumption and system complexity in rack-to-rack or within-rack installations.

Advantages

This SFP+ to SFP+ direct-attach cable offers a compact, cost-effective solution for short-range 10 Gbit/s interconnects. Its fixed-length copper twinax construction ensures consistent signal quality with minimal latency and lower power usage compared with optical transceivers. The integrated SFP+ connectors simplify installation and compatibility with switches, servers and network interface cards that support SFP+ direct-attach connections. The 0.5 m length is suitable where ports are installed in close proximity, helping to maintain tidy cable management in racks.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10 Gbit/s connections between SFP+ ports on switches
• Server-to-switch or server-to-server links within the same rack
• NIC-to-top-of-rack switch connections where direct-attach is supported
• High-density rack installations requiring low-latency, low-power links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: copper direct-attach twinax
• Length: 0.5 m
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Typical use: short-reach electrical interconnect

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on devices such as switches, servers or NICs until the latch clicks. Ensure both devices support SFP+ direct-attach copper cables and that the ports are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation if required by the equipment. Route the cable carefully to avoid excessive bending or strain; the short 0.5 m length is intended for close-proximity connections inside racks or between adjacent devices.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m SFP+ direct-attach cable for reliable, low-latency short links where optical transceivers are unnecessary. Avoid repeated flexing at the connector ends, keep the cable free from sharp bends, and verify firmware or vendor compatibility for direct-attach copper support in your network equipment.
