BlueOptics cavo InfiniBand/fibra ottica 2 m SFP+ connettore maschio/connettore maschio 05CWK6-BL

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2 m SFP+ Male/Male 05CWK6-BL is a 2‑metre direct attach cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends designed for short‑reach, high‑speed links in racks and adjacent rack rows. The cable supports 10G data rates and is suitable for InfiniBand, Ethernet and related storage and networking protocols when used with hardware that accepts passive SFP+ twinax or compatible copper direct attach connections. The male/male SFP+ configuration enables straightforward point‑to‑point connections between switches, servers, storage arrays and other SFP+ ports.

Advantages

This 2 m cable offers low latency and low power consumption typical of passive direct attach twinax solutions, and it provides a compact, plug‑and‑play connection for short distance links within data center racks. Manufactured to MSA‑compliant specifications and built with quality components, the cable is intended to deliver reliable electrical signal transmission up to 10 Gbit/s over the specified distance. The SFP+ to SFP+ male connectors make installation and replacement simple without the need for additional transceivers.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach connections between rack units (switch to switch, switch to server)
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand links within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Storage area network links (FCoE or Fibre Channel over supported platforms)
• Environments requiring low latency and low power passive connections

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive twinax direct attach (copper)
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Standards: MSA‑compliant SFP+ form factor

How to use

Ensure both devices support passive SFP+ direct attach cables and that the SFP+ ports are enabled in the device firmware or software. With devices powered according to your data center procedures, insert each SFP+ male connector firmly into the corresponding SFP+ cage until it latches. Verify link status on both devices and check speed/duplex settings where applicable. For removal, release the latch mechanism and pull straight to avoid stressing the cable.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short intra‑rack or adjacent‑rack links only; it is not intended for extended distances. Keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines, avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent mechanical strain. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor’s list for passive SFP+ twinax DACs if firmware restrictions apply.
