Cablenet CN-DAC-10G-2-CIS 2m SFP+ 10GBase direct attach cable Network Cable

Network bottlenecks can cripple your data centre, especially when you need fast, reliable links between switches or servers. The Cablenet CN-DAC-10G-2-CIS 2m SFP+ 10GBase direct attach cable Network Cable is a passive, hot-pluggable copper cable that delivers up to 10 Gbps over a short 2 m run, giving you a low-cost, low-power solution for high-speed Ethernet or Fibre Channel connections.

Usages of a 2 m direct attach cable

Ideal for connecting rack-mount switches, blade servers or storage arrays within the same rack or between adjacent racks, this cable keeps your network tidy and reduces latency in high-performance environments.

Benefits of Cablenet direct attach cable

• Easy installation: Plug-and-play design lets you connect devices without configuration.
• Low power draw: Passive construction means no extra power consumption compared with active modules.
• Cost-effective: Copper solution offers a cheaper alternative to optical transceivers while maintaining 10 Gbps speeds.
• High reliability: Meets UL, RoHS and EMC standards for long-term stability.
• Compatibility: Works with any SFP+ port, including Cisco equipment, ensuring broad device support.

Cablenet direct attach cable

Choosing this Cablenet direct attach cable means you avoid the expense and complexity of fibre optics for short runs. The 2 m length provides enough reach for most intra-rack connections while keeping signal integrity intact. Its black, duplex design fits neatly into crowded server rooms, and the passive copper conductors minimise heat output, helping you maintain a cooler environment.

The cable’s compliance with industry standards such as EN55022, FCC Part 15 Class B and IEC/EN 60825-1 gives you confidence that it will perform reliably under demanding conditions. With a simple SFP+-to-SFP+ interface, you can upgrade or expand your network quickly, keeping downtime to a minimum.
