BlueOptics V10GDAC-3M InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ 3m Male/Male

The BlueOptics V10GDAC-3M InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ 3m Male/Male is a 3-metre high-speed direct attach cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for short-reach, low-latency interconnections in networking racks and server environments. The cable supports reliable data transmission between compatible SFP+ ports and is suitable for use in data centres, server cabinets and switch-to-switch links where compact, flexible cabling is required.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable provides low latency and consistent signal integrity across a 3 m span, ensuring stable links between InfiniBand or SFP+ enabled devices. Its male-to-male connector configuration allows straightforward installation into compatible ports without additional adapters. The cable's construction emphasizes flexibility for routing in tight spaces and robustness for repeated insertion cycles, making it suitable for dense rack layouts and maintenance operations.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting servers and switches with SFP+ or InfiniBand SFP+ ports
• Short-reach links inside data centre racks
• High-throughput, low-latency cluster and storage networks
• Upgrading or replacing existing direct attach cables in networking equipment

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic direct attach
• Designed for: high-speed, short-reach data transmission
• Typical use: rack- and cabinet-level interconnects

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP+ direct attach connections before installation. Power down equipment if required by your maintenance policies, then align and insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it clicks into place. Verify link status on the connected devices and check network diagnostics or management interfaces for throughput and error counters. For removal, depress the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress; adhere to a minimum bend radius recommended for SFP+ direct attach cables. Keep connectors free of dust and contaminants and store unused ends with protective caps. When planning deployments, group and label cables to simplify maintenance and reduce the risk of accidental disconnection.
