InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 740-065465-BL 2 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 740-065465-BL is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-range, high-speed network links. It is suitable for connecting switches, routers, storage systems and server ports that accept SFP+ interfaces. The cable supports reliable data transmission in data centers and rack environments where a 2 meter direct attach or fibre connection is required.

Advantages

This SFP+ male/male cable provides stable 10 G-class connectivity over a 2 m span and is compatible with common SFP+ ports. The cable is constructed to industry MSA guidelines for SFP+ interoperability and uses quality components to deliver consistent signal integrity and low latency. Its passive direct-attach design minimizes power consumption and reduces complexity in short-range links while offering a cost-effective alternative to transceiver-plus-fibre assemblies.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers within racks or between adjacent racks
• Linking storage systems and servers with SFP+ ports
• High-speed InfiniBand and Ethernet interconnects up to 10 G over 2 m
• Data center patching and short cable runs in network cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Supported protocols: 10G Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand-compatible signaling at supported rates
• Cable type: direct attach (twinax copper for electrical DAC use or fibre optic variant as applicable)
• Compliance: MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor and pinout
• Typical use: short-range interconnects in rack environments

How to use

Install by inserting the SFP+ connectors into compatible SFP+ ports on the devices to be linked until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated fully and that the connected devices are configured to use the appropriate 10G or InfiniBand interface. For passive direct attach twinax use, confirm the hardware supports passive DAC cables. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and route it to prevent mechanical strain.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify firmware and hardware compatibility with SFP+ passive direct attach cables on both endpoints and follow manufacturer guidance for supported link types. Keep the cable within its specified length for guaranteed performance and avoid routing near high-power electrical sources to minimize interference.
