InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 10G-DACA-SFP3M-BL 3 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 10G-DACA-SFP3M-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand / fibre optic cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission between compatible networking devices. Its construction supports 10 Gigabit connections over short distances, making it suitable for direct attach use in rack-to-rack, switch-to-server, or switch-to-switch interconnects within data centers and high-performance network environments.

Advantages

This SFP+ male/male cable provides a compact and low-latency connection option for short-range 10Gbps links. The cable’s fixed 3 m length simplifies deployment planning and reduces clutter compared with separate transceiver and patch cable assemblies. BlueOptics engineering aims to ensure consistent signal integrity for InfiniBand and fibre applications, helping maintain reliable throughput and minimizing error rates in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit direct attach links in data centers
• Connections between SFP+ ports on switches, servers, storage arrays, and host adapters
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand networks
• Rack-to-rack and within-rack cabling where a 3 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 3 meters
• Supported link speed: 10 Gigabit
• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic direct attach
• Form factor: direct attach cable for SFP+ ports

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for 10Gbps operation and that port settings (such as duplex and negotiation) match on both ends. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. If link issues occur, re-seat the connectors and confirm compatibility of the SFP+ ports with direct attach cables.

Recommendations

Install the cable with gentle bends, avoiding sharp kinks and excessive tension. Maintain proper airflow in racks by routing the cable to prevent obstruction. Use this 3 m SFP+ direct attach cable where short, high-bandwidth links are needed; for longer distances, consider active optical cables or transceiver plus patch cable combinations.
