InfiniBand cable BlueOptics OS6360-CBL-60CM-BL 0.5 m SFP+ Black Silver

The BlueOptics OS6360-CBL-60CM-BL is a 0.5 m InfiniBand / SFP+ direct attach cable designed for short-distance, high-speed connections in professional rack environments. This 0.5 meter passive twinax cable supports 10G link speeds and uses SFP+ connectors in a robust black and silver housing. It is MSA-compliant and intended for linking switches, routers, storage systems and other hardware platforms that support SFP+ direct attach copper connections.

Advantages

The cable provides a low-latency, low-power and cost-effective option for short-range 10G interconnects. As a passive DAC with 30 AWG conductors it requires no external power and delivers reliable electrical signalling for Ethernet, FCoE and InfiniBand protocols up to 10 Gbit/s over 0.5 m. MSA compliance and selected high-quality components ensure compatibility and stable operation in supported hardware platforms.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in rack and adjacent-rack setups
• Short-distance 10G Ethernet and InfiniBand links
• Storage system interconnects and SAN uplinks supporting SFP+
• Environments where low latency and low power consumption are required

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m (50 cm)
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive twinax copper, 30 AWG
• Compliance: MSA-compatible SFP+ DAC
• Typical power consumption: passive (near 0.1 W operational environment dependent)

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring both devices support passive SFP+ direct attach copper cables. Secure the connectors until they latch and verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. For proper operation, configure the network interfaces on connected devices according to your network architecture and protocol requirements (Ethernet, FCoE, or InfiniBand).

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics 0.5 m SFP+ DAC for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where cable length is short and predictable. Avoid tight bends and physical strain on the cable and connectors, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources, and confirm hardware compatibility when integrating with third-party switches or storage systems.
