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

The BlueOptics TAPCABLE-1M-BL is a 1 meter InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors and male-to-male termination. Designed for short-range high-speed links, this cable supports 10 Gigabit-class applications and is intended for use in data centers, rack-to-rack connections and network hardware with SFP+ ports. The cable is supplied in blue and is offered as a direct attach option for environments that require a compact, reliable physical connection between SFP+ ports.

Advantages

The cable provides a straightforward physical connection between SFP+ ports with a fixed 1 m length that simplifies cable management in dense rack installations. As a passive direct attach type suitable for InfiniBand and fibre optic signalling scenarios, it offers low power use and low latency compared with active cabling solutions. Manufactured to industry-compatible mechanical and electrical specifications, it is suitable for systems that support 10GBase-CR, FCoE, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand on short links.

Suitable for

• Short-distance links between switches, routers and servers within racks
• Top-of-rack and adjacent-rack networking connections
• Storage systems and SAN interconnects that accept SFP+ direct attach cables
• High-throughput connections requiring 10 Gbit/s class performance on a 1 m span

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 1 meter
• Supported link technologies: InfiniBand and 10G-class Ethernet/FCoE/Fibre Channel compatible on short distances
• Cable type: direct attach twinax / passive assembly for short-range connections
• Color: blue

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 direct attach SFP+ twinax cabling and compatible link protocols (for example 10GBase-CR, FCoE, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand) before powering network equipment. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain proper rack cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. When removing the cable, release the SFP+ latches and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ports.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with passive SFP+ direct attach cables and confirm supported protocols and speed settings in the hardware documentation. For reliable operation, avoid exceeding recommended bend radii and minimize exposure to mechanical stress or corrosive environments.
