Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-7M Compatible 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 7m (23ft)

The HT-manufactured (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-7M compatible cable provides 10G connectivity for Dell equipment. This 7m (23ft) 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.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-7M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-7M
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 24AWG
• Maximum power consumption: ≤0.1W
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

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.

The extended 7m (23ft) 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.

(Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-7M is the longest of 10 verified length options in this family. Compared with (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-6M at 6m (20ft), it provides 1m 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.

This assembly uses 24AWG 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.

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.

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-7M. 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.

Quote HT part number (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-DAC-7M with the required quantity. The 7m (23ft) 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.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
