Cavo InfiniBand/fibra ottica SFP+ BlueOptics SP-CABLE-ADASFP+1M-BL 1 m connettore maschio/connettore maschio

The BlueOptics SP-CABLE-ADASFP+1M-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand / fibre optic style direct attach cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-range high-speed connections in racks and between adjacent racks. It is a passive 10GBase-CR compatible direct attach solution using twinax copper construction and 30 AWG conductor gauge, intended for linking switches, routers, storage systems and other hardware platforms that support SFP+ direct attach cables. The cable supports 10 Gbit/s data rates over a 1 metre distance and is built to meet MSA interoperability requirements.

Advantages

This 1 m SFP+ direct attach cable provides reliable 10G performance for short links with low latency and low power consumption typical of passive DAC twinax cables. Manufactured to industry MSA standards and using established componentry, the cable is intended to offer consistent compatibility with major hardware platforms that support SFP+ DACs. Its compact twinax construction and 30 AWG conductors make it suitable for dense rack environments and short-distance interconnects where a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution is required.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10G links between rack-mounted switches and routers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-storage connections within the same rack or adjacent racks
• InfiniBand, Ethernet and Fibre Channel over compatible SFP+ ports supporting 10GBase-CR

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 1 metre
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive direct attach twinax copper
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Standards: MSA compliant, supports 10GBase-CR

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring each connector latches securely. Use the cable for short-range connections up to 1 m, respecting the hardware vendor’s guidelines for passive DAC support and port compatibility. No external power or transceiver modules are required for passive operation; the connected devices must support passive SFP+ direct attach cables.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with passive SFP+ DACs before deployment and route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain. For highest availability, use the cable within climate and mechanical conditions specified by the equipment vendors and perform periodic checks of connector seating and cable condition in dense rack installations.
