InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFPP30-03-BL 3 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFPP30-03-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this cable is suitable for short-distance links in racks and between adjacent racks, providing a reliable physical connection for networking equipment that supports SFP+ interfaces. The BlueOptics cable is intended for environments such as data centers and enterprise networks where consistent 10 Gbps-class connectivity is required.

Advantages

This 3 m SFP+ male-to-male cable offers a simple, low-latency physical connection that does not require active transceivers. Its passive design supports direct attachment use cases with minimal power consumption and reduced points of failure. The cable conforms to common SFP+ interface expectations, enabling straightforward integration with switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP+ direct-attach connections. A uniform form factor and standardized connectors make installation and replacement fast and predictable.

Suitable for

• Short-distance links inside rack enclosures and between adjacent racks
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand connections using SFP+ ports
• Server-to-switch, switch-to-switch, and switch-to-storage direct attachment

Key specifications

• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends
• Supported link type: InfiniBand and fibre optic/SFP+ direct-attach connections
• Intended use: short-range high-speed data transmission (direct attach)
• Color: Blue

How to use

Connect each SFP+ male connector to the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring that both endpoints support passive SFP+ direct-attach cables and the desired protocol (for example 10G Ethernet or InfiniBand). Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment manufacturer. After physical installation, verify link status on both devices and confirm negotiated speed and protocol in the network equipment management interface.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, direct connections where a passive SFP+ direct-attach solution is supported by your hardware. Avoid extended runs beyond the 3 m length and keep the cable clear of hot airflow paths inside racks to maintain signal integrity and cable longevity.
