BlueOptics 10G-DACA-SFP5M-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ Male Male

The BlueOptics 10G-DACA-SFP5M-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m SFP+ to SFP+ direct attach assembly designed for high-speed networking environments. It provides a fixed, low-latency connection between SFP+ ports and is suitable for data centre links, server-to-switch connections and other short-reach 10 Gigabit applications. The cable's SFP+ male connectors ensure compatibility with devices that support SFP+ direct attach copper/fibre form-factor interfaces.

Advantages

This 5 m SFP+ cable offers predictable performance with minimal signal loss and stable physical connections to SFP+ ports. Its InfiniBand-compatible design supports high throughput and low latency required for clustered computing and storage systems. The cable’s length balances reach and signal integrity for typical rack-to-rack or server-to-switch runs in server rooms and network closets.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand networks
• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links (SFP+ ports)
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• Patch connections inside racks and between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: InfiniBand compatible direct attach assembly
• Length: 5 metres
• Data rate: suitable for 10 Gbit/s applications
• Form factor: fixed direct attach cable for SFP+ ports
• Use environment: indoor, structured cabling and rack installations

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP+ cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the connector latches. Ensure both devices are powered off or follow hot-swap guidelines from the device manufacturer if supported. Verify link status through the host device's network interface indicators or management console and confirm negotiated speed and link integrity. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress on the connectors; maintain the specified bend radius for reliable performance.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks where 5 m reach is sufficient. Avoid exposing the cable to liquids, extreme temperatures or mechanical strain. For reliable operation, pair the cable with devices that explicitly support SFP+ direct attach assemblies and follow the vendor guidelines for firmware and port settings.
