InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics XDACBL1MA-BL 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics XDACBL1MA-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic direct-attach cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for short-reach high-speed links in racks and adjacent rack cabinets. It supports 10G data rates over a direct attach twinax copper/active DAC implementation and follows SFP+ MSA electrical and mechanical specifications for compatibility with major switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP+ DAC modules.

Advantages

This 1 m cable provides a low-latency, low-power connection optimized for short-distance interconnects. It is manufactured to MSA-compliant dimensions and pinouts to ensure interoperability and reliable operation with compatible SFP+ ports. The cable construction and selected components target long service life and stable signal integrity for Ethernet, FCoE and InfiniBand applications at 10 Gbit/s.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked (switch, server, storage). Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the hardware vendor if inserting under power. Verify link status in device management interfaces and configure network settings (speed/duplex, VLANs, etc.) according to system requirements. For best performance, use the cable only for short interconnections as specified and avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable assembly.

Recommendations

Store and route the cable in rack channels or cable management trays to prevent bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use this SFP+ direct-attach cable for short-reach links up to 1 m and verify hardware compatibility with SFP+ passive/active DAC support in the vendor documentation before deployment.
