CBO kabel SFF-8644 samec na samce 2 m — BlueOptics 2282600-R-BL

The CBO cable SFF-8644 Male to Male 2 m — BlueOptics 2282600-R-BL is a direct-attach copper interconnect with SFF-8644 connectors on both ends and a 2 meter length. It is intended for high-density server, storage and switch environments that support SFF-8644 interfaces. The cable provides a short-reach, low-latency connection with secure mechanical mating designed for rack-mounted equipment and simple plug-and-play deployment.

Advantages

This SFF-8644 male-to-male cable offers a compact connector profile for space-constrained environments and a robust housing that ensures reliable mating and retention. As a direct-attach copper solution, it delivers predictable signal performance for short links without the need for transceivers, simplifies cabling management in top-of-rack and adjacent-rack connections, and reduces power requirements compared with active optical alternatives. The 2 m length balances reach and manageability for common data center layouts.

Suitable for

• High-density server-to-switch connections in rack environments
• Short-reach storage array interconnects
• Top-of-rack and adjacent-rack uplinks where SFF-8644 ports are available
• Test setups and lab environments requiring reliable copper links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFF-8644 male to SFF-8644 male
• Cable length: 2 meters
• Cable type: Direct-attach copper assembly
• Color: Blue
• Design: Low-profile, rack-optimized housing for secure mating

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFF-8644 ports and that ports are powered down if required by your site procedures. Align each SFF-8644 connector with the corresponding port and insert until the connector latches or seats securely. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and to maintain appropriate airflow in the rack. If relocating equipment, disconnect by depressing the latch mechanism (if present) and pulling straight out to avoid stressing the connector.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid bends tighter than the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius, keep the cable clear of heat sources and moving parts, and maintain a clean rack environment. Use this cable for short-reach links where cost-effective, passive copper connectivity is appropriate; for longer reaches or environments requiring galvanic isolation, consider active optical or fiber-based alternatives.
