BlueOptics AP784A-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics AP784A-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3 m duplex cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed data transmission in rack and data centre environments. It provides a direct link between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage systems, supporting short-distance, low-latency connections where reliable optical connectivity is required.

Advantages

This 3 metre SFP+ male-to-male fibre cable delivers consistent signal integrity and supports high data rates while keeping insertion loss low. The cable is manufactured to meet established interoperability standards for SFP+ connections and is suitable for mixed-vendor environments. Its form factor and length make it convenient for linking devices within racks and across adjacent racks with minimal cable management complexity.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers
• Linking servers to top-of-rack or leaf switches
• Interconnecting storage arrays and SAN components
• Short-distance InfiniBand or 10GBase connections inside racks

Key specifications

• Cable type: Duplex fibre optic with SFP+ male connectors at both ends
• Length: 3 metres
• Interface: SFP+ (10 Gbit/s class form factor compatibility)
• Application protocols: InfiniBand and 10G-class Ethernet/FCoE/Fibre Channel-compatible links where SFP+ optics are supported
• Design: Low insertion loss for short-reach, high-speed links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the connector latches engage. Route the 3 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for SFP+ fibre assemblies. Verify link status LEDs on connected equipment and configure network interfaces or host adapters according to the manufacturer's instructions for InfiniBand or 10G network operation.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, point-to-point optical links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm that the connected hardware supports passive SFP+/InfiniBand optical assemblies and check port compatibility in device documentation before deployment. For best performance, keep connectors clean and store spare cables in protective packaging when not in use.
