InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 1200484G1-BL 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 1200484G1-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors engineered for short-range, high-speed links in data centers and rack environments. It supports 10G data rates and is suitable for connecting SFP+ ports on switches, servers, storage and other compatible network devices. The cable is designed to provide consistent signal integrity for electrical 10GBase-CR and InfiniBand applications over a 1 metre distance.

Advantages

This SFP+ male-to-male cable offers a compact, low-latency connection with passive twinax construction optimized for short-distance links. Manufactured to industry MSA guidelines, it uses high-quality components to ensure reliable operation and long service life. The 1 m length minimizes excess cable in rack installations and supports common protocols such as Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand at up to 10 Gbps when used with compatible hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Short-distance links between servers and storage systems supporting 10GBase-CR or InfiniBand
• High-density patching in data centre top-of-rack and end-of-row setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 1 metre
• Transmission type: passive twinax copper for electrical 10G signaling
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps
• Cable gauge: 30 AWG
• Compliance: MSA-conformant design for SFP+ interfaces

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ socket on network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both connected devices support passive DAC/twinax or the 10GBase-CR/InfiniBand protocol to guarantee proper operation. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and route it to prevent strain on the SFP+ plugs. Verify link status through device LEDs or network management software after installation.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP+ cable for short rack-to-rack or within-rack interconnects where passive direct attach cables are supported. For longer distances or fiber requirements, select an appropriate fibre optic transceiver and multimode/ singlemode fibre instead.
