Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is ≤0.1W. 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.

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

(Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-2M provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.

Position Within the Length Range

(Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-2M occupies the middle of this family between (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-1.5M at 1.5m (5ft) and (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-2.5M at 2.5m (8ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

Cable Construction and Routing

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.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is 10G Ethernet. 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.

Dell Compatibility and Factory Testing

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-2M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 2m (7ft) 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

Quote HT part number (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-2M with the required quantity. The 2m (7ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

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-2M.

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.

What information should I provide for a compatibility check?

Provide the host manufacturer, equipment model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the OEM part number and required quantity.

Does this page include more than one cable length?

No. This page is dedicated to 2m (7ft) and part number (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-2M. Other lengths have their own part numbers and product pages.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

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.
