BlueOptics AXC763-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics AXC763-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 3 m SFP+ Male-to-Male connection designed for high-speed short-range links in rack and adjacent-rack environments. It supports SFP+ interfaces and is intended for environments that require reliable 10 G data transfers, including Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand protocols where SFP+ physical connections are used. The balanced construction and MSA-compliant connector form factor make it suitable for integration with a wide range of network, storage and server hardware that accept SFP+ direct attach connections.

Advantages

The cable provides a fixed 3 meter link length that simplifies cabling in dense rack layouts and reduces the need for patch panels for adjacent equipment. Its SFP+ Male-to-Male configuration enables direct connections between SFP+ ports without additional transceivers. The design follows industry MSA guidelines and uses construction and components chosen for compatibility with common vendor hardware that supports SFP+ direct attach or short-reach optical/electrical links. Low latency, low power characteristics for passive direct attach applications and straightforward plug-and-play operation reduce installation complexity in data centre and networking setups.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port of the devices to be linked until the latch engages. Ensure the host devices support passive direct-attach SFP+ connections for the selected protocol and speed. After physical insertion, verify link status and speed in the device management interface and, if required, configure port settings such as speed, duplex and protocol-specific parameters. For mixed-vendor setups consult the hardware compatibility list or test a sample connection prior to large-scale deployment.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short, fixed-length connections inside racks or between adjacent racks; avoid routing across long cable runs. Keep connectors and ports free of dust and handle by the connector housings to avoid strain on the cable. Confirm that the connected devices support passive SFP+ direct attach twinax connections and the intended protocol before commissioning.
