InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 407-AAVJ-BL 3 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 407-AAVJ-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed short-range connections in racks and adjacent rack rows. The cable supports 10 Gbit/s transmission and adheres to MSA guidelines for connector compatibility. It is intended for direct attach applications where low latency and reliable electrical signal transfer are required, and is compatible with systems that accept SFP+ direct attach twinax solutions.

Advantages

This 3 m SFP+ male-to-male cable provides a straightforward, low-latency connection for switches, routers and storage hardware that support passive direct attach copper or InfiniBand/fibre interconnects. Built to MSA standards, it uses industry-grade components to ensure consistent signal integrity and long service life. The passive design results in low power consumption and a simple installation process without additional transceivers or power sources.

Suitable for

• Short-range rack-to-rack connections in data centres
• 10G Ethernet, FCoE and InfiniBand links up to 3 m
• Interconnecting SFP+ ports on switches, routers and storage arrays
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-throughput cabling

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: direct attach twinax / InfiniBand-compatible copper/fibre interconnect for short distances
• Wire gauge reference: 30 AWG (typical for twinax direct attach)
• MSA-compliant SFP+ interface for wide hardware compatibility

How to use

Connect each SFP+ male connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices you wish to link, ensuring secure seating. Use the full 3 m length to route between adjacent racks or within a single rack; avoid tight bends and mechanical strain near the connectors. Confirm that the connected hardware supports passive direct attach SFP+ twinax or the InfiniBand/electrical transmission protocol in use. No additional transceivers or power are required for passive use.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid repeated stress on the cable and maintain bend radii recommended by the manufacturer. Verify port compatibility and firmware settings on network devices when integrating into existing infrastructures. For critical links, consider testing a sample cable in your target hardware before large-scale deployment.
