BlueOptics 330-3968-BL InfiniBand-kuitu-kaapeli 5 m SFP+ uros/uros

The BlueOptics 330-3968-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m SFP+ male-to-male link designed for short-reach, high-speed networking between rack-mounted equipment. It provides a direct connection suitable for switches, servers and storage systems that accept SFP+ transceivers and InfiniBand or 10G Ethernet interface types. The cable uses a compact SFP+ form-factor on both ends to ensure a secure mechanical fit and consistent signal integrity over a 5 metre distance.

Advantages

This 5 m SFP+ male/male cable offers reliable data transmission with passive direct-attach construction appropriate for short-distance interconnects. Compliance with common multi-source agreement (MSA) form factors and the SFP+ interface ensures wide hardware compatibility with devices that support SFP+ ports. The cable’s 5 metre length is suited to linking adjacent racks or equipment within the same rack without intermediate patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers within racks
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage short-reach links
• High-speed InfiniBand or 10GBase-CR direct attach connections up to 5 m
• Data centre and high-density rack environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Rated length: 5 metres
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and 10G Ethernet (10GBase-CR) compatible applications
• Cable type: passive direct-attach twinax copper construction for short-distance electrical signal transfer
• Wire gauge and construction suitable for 10 Gbps data rates over 5 m

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices you wish to link, ensuring the latches engage and the connector is fully seated. Verify that both devices are powered and that their ports are configured for the intended protocol (InfiniBand or 10G Ethernet). No external power or transceivers are required for passive direct-attach operation. After installation, check link status on each device to confirm a successful connection.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, fixed connections inside racks or between adjacent racks where low latency and low power consumption are priorities. Avoid routing the cable near sources of mechanical stress or sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ passive twinax direct-attach cables before deployment and perform link tests after installation.
