To attach a cable assembly, simply insert the connector end into the cage of the
SFP+ host port in the active equipment, making sure the cable is fully inserted and
engaged. NOTE: Always observe precautions for handling electrostatic-sensitive
electronic devices when installing this product. Ensure that you are properly grounded
with a wrist strap or equivalent while installing 10G SFP+ copper cables.

To disengage, gently pull the latch release and the cable assembly will easily
disengage the port. The assemblies have been designed to fit into high-density
belly-to-belly faceplates.
Cable Management
The weight of large bundles of SFP+ twin-axial cables can exert a significant force
The weight of large bundles of SFP+ twin-axial cables can exert a significant force
along the horizontal plane — specifically on the host port of the active equipment. If
the cable emerges from the rear of the connector at too sharp an angle, excess
mechanical stress may be transmitted both along the cable and into the circuitboard
located inside the connector. Excessive side forces exerted by the cable can also
misalign the plug in the equipment-mounted receptacle. These forces may degrade
performance or even possibly damage the connector and lead to failure; thus, it’s
important to observe and maintain proper cable bend radius and equally important to
provide adequate and secure strain relief on the cable.
To help maintain proper bend, it is recommended to pre-form the strain relief bend on
To help maintain proper bend, it is recommended to pre-form the strain relief bend on
the cable before installing. The minimum recommended
bend radius is 5X the cable outside diameter (OD) for a
single-time bend and 10X the OD for repeated bends.
r ≥ 5X cable’s outside diameter
