InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics S26361-F3989-L102-BL 2 m SFP+

The BlueOptics S26361-F3989-L102-BL is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed 10G links in rack and adjacent-rack environments. It provides a straightforward connection between servers, switches and storage devices where short-distance, low-latency transmission is required. The cable conforms to SFP+ form-factor expectations and is suitable for passive direct-attach applications over a 2 meter reach.

Advantages

This 2 m SFP+ cable supports 10G data rates and is engineered for low latency and stable signal transmission in dense rack deployments. The construction follows MSA-compatible standards and uses high-quality components to ensure compatibility with major hardware platforms that accept SFP+ direct-attach twinax solutions. Passive twinax design yields low power consumption and a simple, robust implementation with a low failure rate for short-range interconnects.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch connections in data centers and enterprise networks
• Storage system links and SAN top-of-rack cabling
• InfiniBand, Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications up to 10 Gbit/s over short distances

Key specifications

• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive twinax/direct-attach copper for short-range connections
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Typical use: rack and adjacent-rack interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support passive SFP+ direct-attach twinax cables and compatible transmission protocols (Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand). Route the cable within the rack to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the recommended bend radius for twinax cable assemblies. No external power or transceivers are required for passive operation.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility before installation and test the link after connection to confirm full 10G operation. For best results, use this 2 m passive SFP+ twinax cable for short, fixed connections inside racks or between immediately adjacent racks rather than for long-haul links.
