Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics 470-ABPS-BL 2 m SFP+ connettore maschio/connettore maschio

The BlueOptics 470-ABPS-BL is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for short-reach high-speed connections in racks and adjacent rack rows. It supports 10G data transmission and is suitable for use with hardware platforms that accept SFP+ passive direct attach connections. The cable is a cost-efficient solution for linking switches, routers, storage systems and other networking equipment where a reliable, low-latency 10G interconnect is required.

Advantages

This 2 m SFP+ male-to-male cable offers reliable electrical signal transfer for short distances and conforms to common MSA compatibility expectations for SFP+ direct attach connections. As a passive direct attach twinax-style solution, it provides low power consumption and low latency without active electronics in the cable itself. The cable is appropriate for dense rack deployments and is intended to provide long operational life and stable connectivity when used with supporting hardware platforms.

Suitable for

• Connecting 10G SFP+ ports between switches and adjacent rack units
• Short-reach links between servers and storage systems with SFP+ interfaces
• Top-of-rack and inter-rack connections in data centres
• Applications requiring low-latency, low-power 10G links such as Ethernet, FCoE and InfiniBand

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Transmission: 10 Gigabit class passive direct attach twinax-style connection suitable for short distances
• Power characteristics: passive cable (no active electronics in the cable) – very low additional power consumption
• Physical design: twinax/direct attach form factor for high-density rack use

How to use

Inspect both SFP+ ports and the cable connectors before installation to ensure cleanliness and absence of debris. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding host port until the latch engages and verify that the network devices recognise the link. Use the cable for short, direct links between compatible SFP+ ports; the host hardware must support passive SFP+ direct attach cables. If link negotiation or speed settings need adjustment, configure the connected devices according to their network interface settings and vendor guides.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress near the connector ends, and route the cable to prevent kinks, tight bends or pinch points. Verify compatibility with your equipment's SFP+ passive direct attach support and consult device documentation before deployment.
