BlueOptics ONS-SC+-10G-CU1-BL InfiniBand/kuitu-kaapeli 1 m SFP+ uros/uros

The BlueOptics ONS-SC+-10G-CU1-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand / fibre optic compatible direct attach cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short‑reach, high‑speed links. It is a passive 10GBase‑CR twinax copper type (30 AWG) that supports 10 Gbit/s data rates over a one‑meter distance and is intended for use in rack and adjacent‑rack installations. The cable is compatible with hardware platforms that accept SFP+ direct attach cables and is suitable for Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand protocols when the host equipment supports passive DACs.

Advantages

This cable provides a low‑latency, low‑power connectivity option for short interconnects with plug‑and‑play SFP+ compatibility. As a passive twinax solution it requires no additional power or external transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing total cost of ownership. Constructed to MSA guidelines and using high‑quality components, the design targets reliable long‑term operation in data centre and enterprise network environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Short‑reach links for storage systems and servers requiring 10 Gbit/s
• FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand connections where passive DACs are supported
• High‑density networking applications in data centres and server rooms

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive twinax copper (30 AWG)
• Power consumption: passive design (no active power draw in cable)
• Standards: MSA‑compliant SFP+ direct attach form factor

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP+ DAC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the appropriate SFP+ port on the devices to be linked. Ensure both endpoints support passive 10GBase‑CR direct attach cables and that the link negotiation settings on switches or hosts are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation if needed. Avoid excessive bending near the connector heads and secure the cable to prevent strain on the SFP+ cages.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with passive SFP+ DACs before deployment and perform a test link validation in your environment. For best reliability, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and hot airflow from server exhausts; use one‑meter length for connections within or between adjacent racks to maintain signal integrity.
