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

The BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-P-0301-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable equipped with SFP+ male-to-male connectors for high-speed network links. Designed for use in data centers, server rooms and high-performance networking environments, this fibre optic cable supports 10 Gbit/s class transmission and provides a reliable physical connection between SFP+ ports on switches, network adapters and storage equipment. The cable's construction and connector type ensure stable signal integrity over the 3 metre length while maintaining compatibility with standard SFP+ ports.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact, ready-made connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure. Male SFP+ connectors on both ends provide plug-and-play compatibility with devices that accept SFP+ modules, and the 3 m length balances reach and manageability in rack and cabinet layouts. The BlueOptics design focuses on consistent signal transmission and minimal attenuation for short-range 10 Gbit/s links.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches and servers
• Short-range links in data centers and server racks
• High-throughput storage area network (SAN) connections
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand-compatible setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 3 metres
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: fibre optic for InfiniBand/network use
• Typical application: short-range 10 Gbit/s links in rack environments

How to use

Ensure both network devices have compatible SFP+ ports before installation. With the devices powered down or following hot-plug guidelines from the equipment manufacturer, insert each SFP+ connector firmly into the corresponding port until it latches. Route the 3 m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain recommended bend radius for fibre optic cabling. After connection, verify link status and data rate on both endpoints and monitor for any errors during initial traffic tests.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to prevent contamination of connector endfaces; use dust caps when connectors are not in use and clean endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools if required. Avoid tight bends and kinks, and follow manufacturer guidelines for hot-plugging and handling to preserve link quality and service life.
