Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics 3 m SFP+ nero 55114207-BL

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Black 55114207-BL is a 3-metre direct attach cable with SFP+ connectors designed for high-speed short-range connections. It supports electrical signal transmission for 10G applications including Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand when used in compatible SFP+ ports. The cable is a passive twinax copper type with 30 AWG conductors and follows MSA-compliant SFP+ form-factor specifications, intended for linking devices within racks and between adjacent racks.

Advantages

This 3 m SFP+ cable offers a low-latency, low-power (passive) connection suitable for dense rack environments where short-distance, high-throughput links are required. Manufactured from quality components and tested for compatibility with major hardware platforms, it provides reliable signal integrity and consistent performance for supported 10G protocols. The passive twinax design reduces complexity and failure points compared to active transceivers and separate optic modules.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and storage systems within a rack
• Linking adjacent racks in data centers and server rooms
• 10G Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand short-reach links
• Environments where low latency and low power consumption are required

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+ (male/male)
• Cable type: Passive twinax copper
• Conductor gauge: 30 AWG
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbit/s (protocol dependent)
• Form-factor compliance: SFP+ MSA
• Color: Black

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ plug into matching SFP+ ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring the host hardware supports passive 10GBase-CR twinax DACs. Route the cable within the rack or between adjacent racks to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius. No external power or configuration is required for the passive cable itself, but verify device firmware or driver settings if link detection does not occur automatically.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this SFP+ twinax cable only for short-distance links (up to 3 m) in supported hardware. Keep connectors clean and protect plugged ends from dust when not in use. When integrating into mission-critical networks, test the cable in your specific environment and confirm compatibility with the connected devices' vendor support lists.
