BlueOptics SFPP30-01-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFPP30-01-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 1 m connection cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-range, high-speed links in rack and adjacent-rack environments. The cable supports SFP+ transceiver interfaces and is suitable for 10G applications including Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand where SFP+ electrical or optical connections are required. It is engineered to provide consistent signal transmission with minimal insertion loss for noise-sensitive network infrastructure.

Advantages

This 1 m SFP+ cable delivers a compact, low-latency connection for high-density racks and networking equipment. Its male-to-male SFP+ termination ensures straightforward hot-pluggable compatibility with SFP+ ports on switches, routers and storage arrays. The cable follows industry MSA guidelines for form factor and interface behavior, enabling predictable performance in compatible hardware. Passive twinax or fibre build options provide reduced power consumption and a simple, low-failure design suitable for stable short-distance links.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting adjacent racks and devices within the same server cabinet
• High-speed uplinks between switches and access devices at 10 Gbps
• Storage area network links and converged Ethernet/FCoE connections
• InfiniBand short-range connections where SFP+ form-factor modules are supported

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable length: 1 meter
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps (protocol dependent)
• Cable type: direct attach (twinax copper) or fibre-optic compatible with SFP+ interfaces
• Form factor compliance: SFP+ MSA-compatible
• Typical use: short-reach rack and adjacent-rack links

How to use

Ensure devices support passive direct-attach SFP+ twinax or the intended SFP+ optical transceivers and that ports are rated for 10G operation. With both devices powered on or off according to your site policy, insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until the latch engages. Verify link status on the equipment management interface and monitor for correct speed and duplex settings. For removal, depress the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid port damage.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP+ cable for short, direct connections inside racks or between adjacent racks to minimize latency and power consumption. Match the cable type (twinax or fibre) to your ports and confirm vendor compatibility when vendor locks or specific firmware checks are present. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain bend radius recommended by the equipment manufacturer to preserve signal integrity.
