Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics K2Q22A-BL 5m SFP+ connettore maschio/connettore maschio

The BlueOptics K2Q22A-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 5m SFP+ Male/Male is a 5 metre direct attach cable designed for short-distance, high-speed interconnects. It features SFP+ compatible male-to-male connectors and supports up to 10 Gbps data transfer rates for applications that accept passive direct attach twinax or equivalent SFP+ direct links. The cable is intended for use in rack-to-rack or within-rack connections between switches, routers, storage arrays and other network hardware supporting SFP+ interfaces.

Advantages

This cable offers low latency and reliable signal transmission suited to short-reach connections. It is built to MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical characteristics for SFP+ interconnects and uses quality components to ensure long service life and consistent performance. As a passive direct attach solution, it requires no external power, consumes minimal energy during operation and provides a cost-effective alternative to active transceivers and separate fiber runs.

Suitable for

• 10 GbE or InfiniBand short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links
• Interconnections inside racks and between adjacent racks
• Connections for storage systems, SAN fabrics and converged network equipment
• Environments where low latency and compact cabling are required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gbps (protocol dependent)
• Media type: direct attach twinax passive cable suitable for short distances
• Wire gauge: 24 AWG twinax conductor construction
• Form factor: compact SFP+ direct attach assembly for rack environments

How to use

Install the cable by plugging each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the networking devices with power switched off or live hot-plugging if the hardware supports it. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the connected devices are configured to accept passive direct attach cables or SFP+ DAC modules. Verify link activity and speed through the devices' management interface and monitor for any link errors. For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this 5m SFP+ direct attach cable for distances within a single rack or between adjacent racks. Confirm that your switches, routers or storage systems officially support passive SFP+ direct attach twinax cables and that firmware settings do not disable passive DAC compatibility. Store and handle the cable to avoid kinking and keep the connectors free of dust when not connected.
