InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-0301-BL 3 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-0301-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male connectors at both ends, engineered for 10 Gbps data links. This cable provides a robust physical layer for high-speed network connections in server rooms, switches and storage arrays. Its construction supports low-latency transmission and stable throughput over short to moderate link distances, making it suitable for clustered and virtualised environments that require consistent connectivity.

Advantages

This 3 m SFP+ cable delivers 10 Gbps throughput while maintaining signal integrity and minimizing insertion loss. The SFP+ male-to-male configuration ensures direct compatibility with SFP+ ports on networking equipment without additional adapters. Its design focuses on reliable performance, straightforward installation and space-efficient cabling in rack-mounted setups.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage direct connections
• Short-range 10 Gbps links in data center racks
• High-throughput computing clusters and virtualization hosts

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Supported data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic compatible for SFP+ modules
• Typical use: short to moderate distance high-speed links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ male connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch engages. Ensure both connected devices are powered down when performing initial hardware changes where recommended by the equipment vendor, then power up and verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it within the rack to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this cable for reliable 10 Gbps short-range links in data center and enterprise environments. Avoid excessive bending radii, exposure to liquids, and mechanical stress at connector ends. Verify SFP+ port compatibility and firmware or vendor requirements for passive or active cable usage when connecting heterogeneous equipment.
