InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics AT-SP10TW5-BL 5 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics AT-SP10TW5-BL is a 5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic link with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-distance, high-speed connections in racks and adjacent rack rows. The cable supports 10G data rates and is suitable for direct attach applications where low latency and reliable signal transmission are required. Its 5-meter length and SFP+ interface make it compatible with most switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP+ direct attach twinax or optical connections.

Advantages

This InfiniBand/fibre optic cable provides a compact, low-latency connection with SFP+ compatibility for 10G applications. The cable is designed to meet MSA-compliant form factor requirements and uses high-quality components for stable signal integrity over its 5 m length. Passive direct-attach operation minimizes power consumption and reduces points of failure compared with active optical modules, while the SFP+ male/male connector format ensures straightforward plug-and-play installation in compatible ports.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring that both ports support direct-attach twinax or SFP+ optical cables at 10G. Secure the latch on each connector and verify link status via the devices' management interface. For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended minimum bend radius along the cable run. If connecting across different vendor hardware, confirm compatibility with the device's supported transceiver and twinax cable lists before deployment.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m SFP+ cable for short rack-to-rack or within-rack connections where a 10G SFP+ direct attach link is required; store and route the cable to prevent tight bends, and verify device compatibility and firmware support for passive direct-attach cables.
