InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics JH695C-BL 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics JH695C-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ Male to SFP+ Male connectors designed for short-range high-speed links. It supports 10 Gigabit-class connections and is intended for direct attach use in rack and adjacent-rack environments where SFP+ interfaces are required. The cable is presented as a passive direct attach solution compatible with platforms that accept SFP+ DAC connections and is suitable for Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications up to 10 Gbit/s over a 1 m distance.

Advantages

This SFP+ Male/Male cable provides a compact, low-latency connection for short-distance interconnects in data centers and server racks. As a passive direct attach cable it consumes negligible power and does not require external transceivers or active components in the cable assembly. The construction follows Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) electrical and mechanical specifications for SFP+ DACs, promoting interoperability with major networking and storage hardware platforms that support the equivalent HPE JH695C cable type.

Suitable for

• Short-range rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections between switches and servers
• 10G Ethernet and FCoE links in data center topologies
• Storage area network links and Fibre Channel or InfiniBand connections up to 10 Gbit/s

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: SFP+ Male to SFP+ Male
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive direct attach (twinax copper implementation for short distances)
• Form factor: SFP+ DAC compatible (MSA compliant)

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch engages and the connector seats fully. Use one meter of cable length to span connections within a rack or between adjacent racks. Confirm that both endpoints support passive SFP+ DAC cables and that the devices are configured for the intended protocol (Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel, or InfiniBand). No additional power or external transceivers are required for the cable itself.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify compatibility with the host equipment's SFP+ port policy and firmware. Avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius specified by the equipment vendor. Use this 1 m cable for short, fixed links in racks and replace if physical damage or connector wear is observed.
