InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics R9D19A-BL 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics R9D19A-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends configured as male-to-male. Designed for short-reach, high-speed links, this cable supports up to 10 Gbps data transmission and is suitable for direct connection between SFP+ ports in racks and adjacent racks. The cable follows common MSA-compliant form-factor expectations for SFP+ direct attach links and is intended for use in professional networking and data center environments where reliable, low-latency connectivity is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact direct-attach solution with low power consumption and minimal latency compared to active optical modules. It is manufactured to industry MSA guidelines and uses high-quality components to ensure compatibility with hardware platforms that support SFP+ direct attach copper or short-reach optical links. Because it is a fixed 1 m length with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, installation is simple and suitable for dense rack deployments where predictable signal integrity is important.

Suitable for

• Linking SFP+ ports on switches, routers and storage devices within racks or between adjacent racks
• Short-reach 10 Gbps Ethernet, FCoE or InfiniBand connections
• Data center top-of-rack and server interconnects requiring low latency

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 1 meter
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Cable type: direct attach (twinax copper / short-reach fibre optic compatible form factor)
• Compliance: MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor and pinout
• Typical power profile: passive low-power operation (no active components)
• Use case environment: rack-mounted networking and data center hardware

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring that the latch clicks into place. Verify that the connected devices are configured to accept passive direct-attach SFP+ links or short-reach optical SFP+ modules as appropriate for the platform. After connection, check link status and speed negotiation on both devices; for best results use matching port settings and compatible transceiver/cable modes supported by your hardware.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP+ cable for short-distance connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm vendor hardware compatibility with passive SFP+ direct-attach cables before deployment and avoid routing the cable near high-electromagnetic-interference sources. For long runs or where vendors require active optics, choose an appropriate active optical cable or transceiver instead.
