InfiniBand-/kuitu-kaapeli BlueOptics 10G-DACA-SFP1M-BL 1 m SFP+ uros/uros

The BlueOptics 10G-DACA-SFP1M-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for 10 Gbit/s links. This single cable provides a direct-attach solution for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects between SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage systems. The cable's blue jacket and compact SFP+ terminations make it suitable for dense rack environments and installations where reliable, low-latency connectivity is required.

Advantages

The cable supports 10 Gbit/s data rates over a short fixed length, delivering consistent throughput and low latency for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections. Its SFP+ male terminations offer hot-pluggable compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and reduce the need for separate transceivers. The integrated construction minimizes signal loss and simplifies cabling in high-density setups, while the robust outer jacket provides mechanical protection and ease of routing in racks.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections in data centres between servers, switches and storage arrays
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects
• Network aggregation and top-of-rack switch links
• Environments where space-saving, direct-attach SFP+ cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Supported data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Direct-attach copper/fibre optic hybrid form factor suitable for short-reach links
• Jacket colour: Blue
• Compatibility: Designed for standard SFP+ ports compliant with InfiniBand and 10 G Ethernet applications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure that both devices are powered off or that hot-plugging is supported and safe in your environment before installation. Verify link status through the device management interface or LED indicators after connection. For removal, depress the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port or cable.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short, direct connections within racks or between adjacent racks; avoid routing it through long cable runs where a fibre transceiver and patch cabling would be more appropriate. Ensure proper bend radius and avoid sharp kinks. Check device compatibility with SFP+ direct-attach cabling and confirm that firmware and port settings support the 10 Gbit/s link when integrating into mixed-vendor environments.
