InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 740-037249-BL 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 740-037249-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable short-range connectivity in networking environments. It provides a standardized SFP+ interface for direct connection between compatible switches, routers, storage systems and other network equipment that support SFP+ transceivers. The cable is intended for use where compact, low-latency links up to 10 Gbit/s over a one-metre channel are required.

Advantages

This SFP+ Male/Male cable supports proven direct-attach connectivity with a one-metre length that simplifies rack-to-rack or in-rack connections while keeping signal path short. The passive twinax design offers low power consumption and low latency for short-distance links. Manufactured to comply with common MSA standards, the cable is compatible with a wide range of hardware platforms that accept SFP+ direct-attach links and is intended to deliver dependable mechanical and electrical performance in standard data centre and networking installations.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections between switches and routers within racks or across adjacent racks
• Direct-attach links for storage systems and appliance interconnects
• High-throughput applications requiring SFP+ interfaces up to 10 Gbit/s over 1 m
• Environments where low latency and low power consumption are important

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: direct-attach twinax (passive) suitable for short-distance electrical transmission
• Primary applications: Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand-compatible links at supported rates

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector firmly into the SFP+ ports of the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors latch properly. Confirm both devices support passive direct-attach SFP+ twinax cables and compatible data rates. After insertion, verify link status and negotiate speed and protocols according to the host devices' configuration. For best signal integrity, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable run to the specified one-metre length.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics 740-037249-BL cable for short interconnects in racks and adjacent racks where SFP+ passive direct-attach connections are supported. Check device compatibility and firmware requirements before deployment and maintain gentle cable routing to prevent mechanical stress that could impair connector seating or signal quality.
