InfiniBand/optický kabel BlueOptics 053HVN-BL 3 m SFP+ samec/samec

The BlueOptics 053HVN-BL 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ Male to SFP+ Male connectors is designed for short-reach, high-speed interconnects in rack and adjacent-rack environments. It provides a direct-attached twinax copper connection supporting 10GBase-CR and compatible protocols such as Ethernet, FCoE and InfiniBand, enabling reliable data transfer between switches, servers and storage systems that accept SFP+ direct attach cables.

Advantages

This 3 m BlueOptics cable follows MSA-compliant SFP+ form-factor specifications and is manufactured using industry-standard components to ensure stable electrical characteristics and compatibility with major hardware platforms. As a passive direct-attach cable it consumes minimal power, offers low latency and a low failure rate due to its simple design. The cable is suitable for short-distance links up to 3 meters, delivering consistent 10 Gbit/s performance when paired with compatible devices.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between rack-mounted switches, servers and storage arrays
• Short-distance data centre links up to 3 m
• 10GBase-CR, Ethernet, FCoE and InfiniBand interfaces using SFP+ ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 3 meters
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive direct-attach twinax copper
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Compliance: MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector firmly into the SFP+ ports of the two devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors latch according to the device vendor’s port mechanism. Verify that both endpoints support passive SFP+ direct attach twinax cables and the intended protocol (for example, 10GBase-CR or InfiniBand). After physical connection, confirm link status and negotiated speed in the network equipment management interface or CLI.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, high-bandwidth links within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and maintain manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius; keep the cable clear of power supplies and sources of electromagnetic interference. For deployments where transceiver-based optical links are required or for distances beyond 3 m, consider active DACs or fiber optic transceivers and appropriate fiber cabling.
