InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics SP-CABLE-FS-SFP+1-BL 1 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SP-CABLE-FS-SFP+1-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed networking links in data centers and professional network environments. It supports reliable short-distance connections between compatible SFP+ ports and is suitable for applications that require up to 10G transfer rates when used as a Direct Attach Cable (DAC) or in compatible fibre/InfiniBand configurations. The cable is offered in a blue jacket and is intended for use with hardware platforms that accept SFP+ style connections.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact 1 m connection with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, enabling straightforward plug-and-play installation between compatible devices. As a passive Direct Attach style option for short-distance links, it reduces power consumption compared with active optical modules and simplifies rack-level cabling. The product is manufactured to industry mechanical and electrical interconnect standards to ensure compatibility with major networking and storage platforms that support SFP+ connections.

Suitable for

• Short-distance device interconnects in racks and adjacent racks
• 10G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FCoE and InfiniBand links where SFP+ is supported
• Switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and switch-to-storage connections with SFP+ ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable jacket colour: blue
• Designed for short-reach links and Direct Attach style deployment
• Supports up to 10 Gbit/s transfer rate in compatible configurations

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices to be linked, ensuring connectors latch securely. Use the 1 m length to connect devices within the same rack or adjacent racks. Confirm that both devices' firmware and hardware support passive DAC or the specific SFP+ cable type being used. Avoid excessive bending of the cable and route it to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Verify vendor compatibility with your hardware platform before installation, and check port settings and firmware to ensure full 10G operation. For highest reliability, avoid sharp bends and secure the cable to reduce mechanical stress; replace the cable if connectors appear damaged or if links become unstable.
