BlueOptics X2130A-1M-N-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ 1m Male/Male

The BlueOptics X2130A-1M-N-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre direct attach cable (DAC) with SFP+ connectors designed for short-range, high‑speed data links. It supports 10G electrical transmission over a twinax copper assembly and is MSA-compliant for compatibility with major network switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP+ DACs. The cable is intended for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections where low latency, low power consumption and predictable signal integrity are required.

Advantages

The cable provides a passive 10GBase-CR connection using 30 AWG twinax copper conductors, offering a low-latency and low-power alternative to active optical transceivers for short distances. Its SFP+ male-to-male termination ensures plug-and-play connectivity in systems that support passive DACs. Manufactured to meet MSA guidelines and assembled from high-quality components, the cable is built for durability and consistent electrical performance in data center environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors are fully seated and the latching mechanism engages. Use the cable for direct electrical interconnects over short distances (typically within the same rack or to adjacent racks) and verify that the hardware firmware or driver supports passive DAC cables. Do not bend the cable sharply; maintain gentle radii and avoid mechanical strain on the connector ends during installation or removal.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target hardware vendor’s supported transceiver list before deployment. Use this passive SFP+ DAC for links up to 1 metre where the host equipment explicitly supports passive 10GBase-CR twinax connections; for longer runs or optical isolation requirements, choose an active cable or optical transceivers with fiber cabling.
