InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ BlueOptics X2130A-3M-N-BL 3m Male/Male

The BlueOptics X2130A-3M-N-BL is a 3-meter InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-range, high-speed connections in rack and adjacent-rack environments. This passive 10GBase-CR style direct attach solution uses twinax copper conductors with SFP+ interfaces to transmit electrical signals at up to 10 Gbit/s over a 3 m distance, and is compatible with major networking, storage and server platforms that support SFP+ direct attach cables.

Advantages

The cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency connection for short-distance links and requires no active components, resulting in low power consumption and a reduced failure rate. Manufactured to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) SFP+ standards and using high-quality components, the cable aims to deliver consistent interoperability and long service life in professional data center applications.

How to use

Ensure both devices support passive SFP+ direct attach cables and are powered down or follow hot-plug guidance from the equipment vendor. Align each SFP+ connector with the corresponding SFP+ port and insert until the latch clicks into place. Verify link status and speed through the connected devices' management interfaces. For removal, release the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid stressing the cable or port.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m SFP+ direct attach cable for short, high-speed links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain a bend radius consistent with twinax cable guidelines. Confirm device compatibility with passive DACs and, if necessary, request a test sample to validate interoperability in your specific hardware environment.
