InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 295-1132-BL 3 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 295-1132-BL 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ Male/Male connectors is designed for short-range high-speed links in racks and adjacent rack layouts. It provides a direct attach solution for 10G-class transmissions and is suitable for connecting switches, servers, storage systems and other networking hardware that accept SFP+ interfaces. The 3 meter length allows flexible placement while maintaining signal integrity for supported protocols.

Advantages

This cable combines SFP+ connectivity with a 3 m passive direct-attach design to deliver reliable 10G-capable links with low latency and low power usage. It is built to industry mechanical specifications for SFP+ interconnects and is compatible with common 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand use cases where SFP+ twinax or equivalent connections are supported. The male-to-male SFP+ ends simplify installation and integration into standard rack hardware.

Suitable for

• Short-distance rack-to-rack or within-rack connections
• 10G Ethernet switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links
• Fibre Channel or FCoE links where SFP+ passive direct attach is supported
• InfiniBand links using SFP+ compatible ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Transmission class: suitable for 10G data rates (10 Gigabit-capable)
• Cable type: passive direct-attach twinax-style connection for short distances
• Typical applications: Ethernet, Fibre Channel/FCoE and InfiniBand over SFP+ ports

How to use

Ensure both devices support passive SFP+ direct-attach cables and have available SFP+ ports. With powered-off equipment or following hot-plug guidelines from your hardware vendor, insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it latches. After installation, verify link status and negotiated speed in the device management interface and confirm correct operation of the intended protocol (Ethernet, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand).

Recommendations

Use this 3 m SFP+ male/male cable for short-range connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Verify vendor compatibility with passive SFP+ direct-attach cables on both endpoints and test the link for expected speed and functionality before deploying in production.
