there is a strut:
try
\showstruts
By default
\setupfooter[strut=yes]
so put
\setupfooter[strut=no]
Also watch for spurios spaces in \FooBox
Here is my version
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackground[background=color, backgroundcolor=black]
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\newbox\FootBox
\setuplayout
[ location=doublesided,
marking=on,
topspace=1cm, % space at top of page
bottomspace=1cm, % space at bottom of page
backspace=2cm, % spine side of page
cutspace=1cm, % outer side of page
header=0cm,
footer=2cm,
bottom=2cm,
margin=0cm,
width=middle,
height=middle,
]
\setbox\FootBox=\hbox{\framed
[ align=right,
frame=on,
topframe=on,
width=\textwidth,
offset=none,
framecolor=blue,
]
{\bf \tfxx datasheet:}}
\setupfooter[strut=no]
\setuplayout[footer={\dimexpr\ht\FootBox+\dp\FootBox\relax}]
\setupfootertexts[{\copy\FootBox}]
\showstruts
\showlayout
\showframe
\starttext
\dorecurse{20}{\input tufte }test
\stoptext
