Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MA Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Copper Twinax Cable, 1m (3ft)

For short, high-density connections, this DAC cable combines 10G performance with a fixed 1m (3ft) cable run. It corresponds to Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MA and uses a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords.

OEM Part Number: (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MAHT Part Number: (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MA

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MA
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MA
• Cable construction: Active Twinax
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Maximum power consumption: ≤0.5W
• Minimum bend radius: 23mm

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.

At 1m (3ft), (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MA is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

(Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MA is the shortest of 5 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-3MA at 3m (10ft), adding 2m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 23mm. 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.

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.

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.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MA. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

Use part number (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MA for the 1m (3ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

Every (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1MA compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 1m (3ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
