InfiniBand cable CBO AFBR-2CAR07Z-BO, 7 m, SFP+ compatible, blue/orange

Passive InfiniBand cable CBO AFBR-2CAR07Z-BO is a 7 m fixed-length SFP+ compatible connection cable in blue/orange color coding, designed for short-distance high-speed links in data center and server environments. The cable provides a direct, passive connection between compatible SFP+ interfaces, enabling low-latency signal transmission without the need for active transceivers. Its 7-meter length supports flexible rack-to-rack, switch-to-switch or switch-to-server layouts where a reliable, color-coded physical link is required.

Advantages

This SFP+ compatible passive InfiniBand cable offers plug-and-play installation without additional power or configuration. Its fixed 7 m length reduces the need for intermediate patch panels and simplifies cable management in dense rack environments. The blue/orange color coding makes it easy to identify link types or designate specific network segments. As a passive assembly, the cable minimizes potential points of failure by avoiding active electronics and provides consistent electrical performance for short-reach connections.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Interconnects between switches in a data center rack row
• Switch-to-server or top-of-rack to aggregation links using SFP+ ports
• Short-reach high-speed links where fixed-length cabling is preferred
• Environments requiring color-coded cabling for simple identification

Key specifications

• Interface compatibility: SFP+ compatible
• Type: Passive InfiniBand direct attach cable
• Length: 7 meters
• Color coding: blue and orange
• Connector style: fixed direct-attach ends for SFP+ ports
• Intended reach: short-reach, data center and server room applications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each end into the corresponding SFP+ port on devices to be linked, ensuring secure seating of connectors. Verify port settings and link status on connected switches or servers after physical connection. For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable routed to prevent excessive strain or crushing. Use the color coding to match documented link plans and maintain consistent infrastructure labeling.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this passive InfiniBand SFP+ compatible cable for short-reach connections within the same rack row or between adjacent racks. Avoid placing under heavy mechanical stress and maintain bend radii recommended by the equipment vendor. Confirm compatibility with device SFP+ ports before deployment and replace if physical damage or connector wear is evident.
