BlueOptics 00VX114-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Male Male

The BlueOptics 00VX114-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3 m connection featuring SFP+ connectors on both ends designed for high-speed data transmission in rack and data center environments. This cable supports short-range links between switches, servers and storage systems where low latency and reliable throughput are required. The construction follows industry connector form factors to ensure mechanical fit with SFP+ ports and to provide consistent performance for InfiniBand and 10 Gbit-class applications.

Advantages

The cable combines a compact SFP+ to SFP+ form factor with a fixed 3 m length suitable for connections within and between adjacent racks. Passive twinax-style implementation provides low power usage and minimal latency for short-distance links. Manufactured according to common MSA guidelines and assembled from quality components, the cable offers stable signal integrity, minimal failure rates in professional environments and a long expected service life when operated within specified conditions.

Suitable for

• Direct links between switches and routers in server racks
• Connections between servers and storage arrays within data centers
• Low-latency InfiniBand or 10G interconnects in high-performance computing setups
• Short-distance cross‑rack or intra-rack cabling where SFP+ ports are used

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ (male) on both ends
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and 10G (10GBase-CR) class electrical data transfer
• Cable type: direct attach twinax-style for short-range electrical transmission
• Power consumption: passive design with very low incremental power draw
• Compliance: manufactured to common SFP+/MSA mechanical and electrical guidelines

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch or lever engages securely. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain bend radius consistent with SFP+ twinax recommendations and keep the cable clear of high-heat sources. Passive direct-attach cables require host ports that support passive DACs; verify that the connected hardware accepts passive SFP+ direct-attach twinax cables before deployment. After connection, confirm link status in device management interfaces and perform throughput or diagnostic tests as needed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the 3 m BlueOptics SFP+ cable in short-distance links only and ensure both devices explicitly support passive SFP+ direct-attach connections. Avoid repeated excessive flexing near connector heads, keep the cable secured inside racks to prevent strain, and document link endpoints in your network inventory for maintenance and replacement planning.
