BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1m SFP+ Male/Male 90Y9427-BL

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1m SFP+ Male/Male 90Y9427-BL is a 1 meter direct attach cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends designed for short-range, high-speed data links. It supports 10G transmission rates and is suitable for interconnects inside racks and between adjacent racks. The cable implements a passive twinax copper design compatible with SFP+ interfaces and follows MSA guidelines for interoperability with major networking equipment that supports SFP+ DAC connections.

Advantages

This 1 m SFP+ Male/Male cable provides low latency and low power consumption typical of passive direct attach twinax solutions. It is manufactured using industry-standard components and tested for compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers and storage systems. The cable offers a compact, plug-and-play form factor for easy installation in data center environments and delivers consistent performance for Ethernet, FCoE and InfiniBand applications up to 10 Gbit/s over short distances.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports within a single rack or between adjacent racks
• 10G Ethernet, FCoE and InfiniBand short-reach links
• Switch-to-switch, switch-to-storage and switch-to-server connections
• Environments requiring low-latency, low-power interconnects

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Transmission rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Passive twinax copper (30 AWG equivalent)
• Compliance: MSA-compatible SFP+ DAC electrical/mechanical interface
• Typical power consumption: very low (passive design)

How to use

Insert the SFP+ connectors into the corresponding SFP+ ports on each device until they latch. Ensure both devices support passive SFP+ DAC cables and the same transmission protocol (Ethernet, FCoE, or InfiniBand). Avoid extreme bending or strain on the cable during routing and maintain recommended bend radius. For optimal operation, power on connected devices and verify link status and negotiated speed in the device management interface.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP+ DAC for short-reach connections in racks and adjacent rack rows; confirm device compatibility with passive DACs and check link status after installation. Store and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress to maintain signal integrity and service life.
