Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand SFP+ BlueOptics SP-CABLE-ADASFP+2M-BL 2 m connettore maschio/connettore maschio

The BlueOptics SP-CABLE-ADASFP+2M-BL is a 2 meter SFP+ direct attach cable (DAC) designed for short-range 10 Gigabit connections in racks and between adjacent racks. With SFP+ male connectors on both ends and a passive twinax copper design, this cable supports 10GBase-CR signalling and is intended for use in switches, routers, storage systems and other network hardware that accepts SFP+ passive DACs. The 30 AWG conductor construction and MSA-compliant form factor provide a compact, low-latency link for data centre and enterprise network interconnects.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable offers low power consumption and low latency typical of passive direct attach twinax solutions, while eliminating the need for separate transceivers. The MSA-compliant SFP+ connectors ensure broad hardware compatibility when devices officially support passive 10GBase-CR DACs. Built with high-quality components and a robust cable assembly, the product is intended for reliable operation in dense rack environments and short-distance interconnects up to 2 meters.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbit/s links between rack-mounted switches and servers
• Interconnects between adjacent racks and patch panels
• Storage area network (SAN) and Fibre Channel / FCoE top-of-rack connections when supported
• InfiniBand and Ethernet environments that accept SFP+ passive DACs

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBase-CR)
• Cable type: passive twinax copper (30 AWG)
• Form factor: MSA-compliant SFP+ direct attach cable
• Typical applications: Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand where supported

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector firmly into the SFP+ ports of the two devices to be connected, ensuring the retaining latch engages. Use the cable to link compatible SFP+ ports in top-of-rack switches, servers or storage systems at distances up to 2 metres. Verify that the host devices support passive 10GBase-CR direct attach twinax cables in their software/firmware and enable the appropriate ports. No external power or additional transceivers are required for passive operation.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with the specific switch, router or storage model prior to installation and, where possible, test the cable in your environment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius indicated by the host or the cable manufacturer. For high-density deployments, label both ends to simplify maintenance and replacement.
