BlueOptics MA-CBL-TA-2M-BL cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand SFP+ 2 m maschio-maschio

The BlueOptics MA-CBL-TA-2M-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable SFP+ 2m Male Male is a 2-metre direct attach cable designed for short-distance, high-speed interconnects in racks and adjacent rack environments. It features SFP+ form-factor connectors on both ends and supports up to 10 Gbit/s applications such as Ethernet, FCoE and InfiniBand when used with compatible hardware. The cable is intended for professional networking and data centre environments where reliable, low-latency connections are required.

Advantages

This SFP+ direct attach cable provides a compact, passive connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing power consumption and latency. The construction follows MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications and uses high-quality components to ensure consistent signal integrity and long operational life. Its 2 m length is suitable for rack-to-rack or within-rack links where short, fixed cabling is preferable.

Suitable for

• Linking switches, routers and storage systems within the same rack or adjacent racks
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-CR applications
• InfiniBand and Fibre Channel environments that accept SFP+ DACs
• Data centre patching and top-of-rack connectivity

Key specifications

• Cable type: passive direct attach cable (DAC), twinax copper construction
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 2 metres
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gbit/s per the supported protocol
• Wire gauge and build: 30 AWG twinax conductor, MSA-compliant assembly
• Typical use: short-distance electrical signal transmission in rack environments

How to use

Install the BlueOptics MA-CBL-TA-2M-BL by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring a secure latch. Verify that the connected devices support passive SFP+ DACs and the intended protocol (for example 10GBase-CR, FCoE or InfiniBand). After connection, check link LEDs and device interface status to confirm the link is active and negotiate the correct speed and duplex settings according to your equipment documentation.

Recommendations

Use this direct attach cable for short fixed links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or exposure to moisture and electromagnetic sources. When replacing or upgrading equipment, confirm compatibility with the device vendor’s supported SFP+ DAC list and firmware requirements to ensure full functionality.
