InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 740-030076-BL 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 740-030076-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends in a male/male configuration. Designed for short-reach high-speed links, this cable supports common 10G applications including Ethernet, FCoE and Fibre Channel where SFP+ ports are used. The physical design and connector type make it suitable for direct rack-to-rack and within-rack connections in data centres and networking cabinets.

Advantages

This SFP+ male-to-male cable provides a compact, low-latency connection for 10G links while avoiding active transceivers and additional power consumption. Built to MSA-compliant form factors and using quality components, it offers reliable electrical transmission for short distances and a long service life. The product is compatible with a wide range of hardware platforms that accept SFP+ direct attach connections.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10G links between switches and routers within racks
• Direct connections between storage arrays and servers supporting SFP+
• High-density rack installations that require compact SFP+ cabling
• InfiniBand and Fibre Channel environments using SFP+ interfaces

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps
• Transmission medium: twinax / direct attach (electrical) suitable for short reach
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• MSA-compliant form factor

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector firmly into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking devices until the latch clicks. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to support passive direct-attach twinax cables and the selected 10G protocol. Verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces and check speed/duplex settings in the device configuration. Avoid sharp bends and maintain a gentle bend radius to prevent cable deformation.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP+ male/male cable for short, internal connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm vendor compatibility and software support for passive DAC cables on the connected devices before deployment, and route the cable to avoid strain and interference from power cables.
