Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-10M Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Copper Twinax Cable, 10m (33ft)

Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-10M Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Copper Twinax Cable, 10m (33ft)

The HT-manufactured (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-10M compatible cable provides 10G connectivity for Dell equipment. This 10m (33ft) version is a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is ≤0.5W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 1x InfiniBand QDR, DDR, SDR, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Passive Copper Operation

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

The extended 10m (33ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated DAC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

Position Within the Length Range

(Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-10M is the longest of 5 verified length options in this family. Compared with (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-7MA at 7m (23ft), it provides 3m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

Dell Compatibility and Factory Testing

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-10M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 10m (33ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Dell software can request a pre-order check.

Ordering Information

This product is ordered as (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-10M in 10m (33ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original Dell cable?

No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-10M.

Are separate optical modules required?

No. The connectors and cable form one complete direct-attach assembly. Do not attempt to detach or replace either end.

Can the cable be folded to shorten its routing path?

No. Follow the specified minimum bend radius and route the 10m (33ft) assembly without tight folds, sharp edges or excessive cable ties.

Can I use it between different speeds or interface types?

Only when both hosts explicitly support the same data rate, lane mapping and breakout configuration. Mechanical fit alone is not proof of interoperability.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-10M and the 10m (33ft) length for easier inventory control.

Shipping and Lead Time

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
