InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-P-1M-BL 1m Male/Male

The BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-P-1M-BL is a 1 meter InfiniBand/fibre optic Direct Attach Cable (DAC) with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-range high-speed links. This passive twinax copper cable implements the 10GBase-CR electrical interface and is suitable for connecting SFP+ ports in racks and between adjacent racks. The cable follows MSA-compliant form factors and supports up to 10 Gbit/s data rates for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and InfiniBand, offering a compact, low-power solution for professional network environments.

Advantages

This 1 m SFP+ DAC provides low latency and very low power consumption due to its passive twinax construction. It is manufactured using high-quality components and adheres to MSA standards to ensure interoperability with major hardware platforms such as switches, routers and storage systems that support SFP+ passive DACs. The cable’s simple design reduces failure points and offers a long expected lifetime, making it a cost-effective choice for dense data center and rack-level interconnects.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbit/s uplinks between switches and routers
• Interconnects within and between adjacent server racks
• Storage area network (SAN) links using FCoE or Fibre Channel protocols
• InfiniBand connections where SFP+ electrical DACs are supported
• High-density top-of-rack (ToR) and aggregation installations

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Media: passive twinax copper (DAC)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable gauge: 30 AWG
• Compliance: MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor and 10GBase-CR electrical interface
• Typical applications: Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand (up to 10G)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-P-1M-BL by inserting each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support passive 10GBase-CR DAC cables; consult device documentation or vendor compatibility lists if uncertain. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; the short 1 m length is intended for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections. No external power or configuration is required for the cable itself—link negotiation and protocol settings are managed by the connected hardware.

Recommendations

Verify hardware compatibility before deployment and test the link after installation. Use the 1 m passive SFP+ DAC for short-distance connections where low latency and low power draw are priorities. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or physical strain and replace damaged connectors to maintain link reliability.
