InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 00AY765-BL 2 m SFP+

The BlueOptics 00AY765-BL 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors is designed for short-range high-speed interconnects in rack and data center environments. This cable supports up to 10 Gbit/s link speeds over a 2 meter distance and is suitable for direct connections between SFP+ ports on switches, routers, storage systems and network interface cards. The construction follows industry MSA guidelines for SFP+ connectivity and is intended for stable, low-latency electrical signal transfer in environments that require dependable point-to-point links.

Advantages

The cable combines a 2 meter length with SFP+ on both ends to provide a straightforward direct-attach solution for adjacent rack units or short cross-rack connections. Passive twinax construction yields low power consumption and low latency, while adherence to MSA compatibility ensures interoperability with hardware platforms that support SFP+ direct attach solutions. Components and assembly are selected to provide consistent electrical performance for Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand protocols at the specified data rate and distance.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between SFP+ ports in racks and adjacent racks
• Short-distance high-speed links for switches, routers and storage systems
• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications over 2 m

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Length: 2 meters
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Construction: passive direct-attach twinax copper design
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Compatibility: MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor for standard hardware supporting passive DACs

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch engages. Ensure both connected devices support passive direct-attach twinax cables and that the ports are configured for the intended network protocol. Route the cable to avoid excessive bending and mechanical strain; maintain the 2 m distance without sharp kinks. After physical connection, verify link status and negotiate the correct speed and protocol on the connected devices.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics 2 m SFP+ direct-attach cable for short, high-bandwidth links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm device support for passive DACs and avoid exceeding the specified length or using it in environments with excessive mechanical stress or temperatures outside the equipment specifications.
