SFP+ kabel BlueOptics SFP-DAC10-1M-BL 1 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics SFP-DAC10-1M-BL is a 1 meter SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) with male SFP+ connectors at both ends, designed for short-range 10G connections in racks and between adjacent racks. As a passive twinax copper assembly it supports 10GBase-CR electrical signalling and is MSA-compliant. The cable is suitable for linking switches, routers, storage systems and servers that accept SFP+ DAC modules, providing a straightforward, low-power physical connection for high-speed networks.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable provides a cost-effective and low-latency 10 Gbps link for short distances. Its passive twinax design consumes minimal power and reduces potential points of failure compared with active transceivers. The product is manufactured to MSA standards and uses high-quality connector and cable components to ensure reliable electrical transmission and compatibility across major hardware platforms that support passive SFP+ DACs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches within a rack or between adjacent racks
• Linking servers to top-of-rack or aggregation switches
• Short-distance 10G Ethernet, FCoE or Fibre Channel up to 1 meter
• High-density data center and enterprise network cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Cable type: passive twinax copper (10GBase-CR)
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Power consumption: passive (approximately 0.1 W typical system impact)
• Colour: coral and silver
• Weight: 0.08 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP+ connectors into compatible SFP+ ports on the two devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors click into place and the devices are powered off or follow hot-swap guidelines of the hardware vendor. Verify the link status and negotiated speed in the equipment management interface. Use the cable only for short-distance connections and within the supported transmission standards of the connected hardware.

Recommendations

Confirm that both endpoints officially support passive SFP+ DACs and that firmware or vendor restrictions do not block third-party modules. Avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain bend radius recommended by the rack or device manufacturer. For critical links, test the cable in your environment before large-scale deployment.
