BlueOptics cavo InfiniBand/fibra ottica 3 m SFP+ nero 60175-BL

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3m SFP+ Black 60175-BL is a 3-meter SFP+ to SFP+ direct attach cable designed for short-range high-speed connections in racks and adjacent rack rows. It offers a passive twinax copper design compatible with SFP+ ports and supports protocols such as Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand at data rates up to 10 Gbit/s over a 3 m distance. The cable is intended for professional networking environments including data centres, server rooms and storage arrays where low latency and reliable signal transfer are required.

Advantages

This 3 m SFP+ cable provides a low-latency, low-power connectivity option for short interconnects. Its passive twinax construction eliminates the need for active electronics in the cable itself, reducing power consumption and potential points of failure. The cable conforms to MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor guidelines and is manufactured from selected components to ensure stable performance and long operational lifetime. The compact design simplifies rack cabling and reduces signal degradation on short distances.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and servers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Storage systems and SAN connectivity supporting SFP+ ports
• High-speed InfiniBand and Fibre Channel links up to 10 Gbit/s
• Short-range connections in data centres and server rooms

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Length: 3 metres
• Transmission medium: passive twinax copper (DAC)
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Supported protocols: Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand
• Form factor: MSA-compliant SFP+ direct attach

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your devices until the latch clicks into place, ensuring proper seating and alignment. Use the cable for direct short-range connections between compatible switches, routers, servers or storage devices that support passive SFP+ direct attach twinax cables. No external power or transceiver modules are required within the cable; make sure the host hardware supports passive DAC operation and the intended protocol and speed profile. When removing the cable, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify device compatibility with passive 10G SFP+ twinax cables and keep cable runs within the specified 3 m length. Route cables to avoid sharp bends, mechanical stress and proximity to high-power or noisy cabling. Regularly inspect connectors for dust and contamination and clean only with appropriate fibre/copper connector cleaning tools before insertion.
