InfiniBand/optický kabel BlueOptics 46K6182-BL 1 m SFP+ samec/samec

The BlueOptics 46K6182-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable rack-to-rack connectivity. It implements an SFP+ to SFP+ interface suitable for short-range links in data centers and networking environments where 10 Gbit/s class performance is required. The cable follows established MSA guidelines for SFP+ connections and is intended for use with hardware platforms that support SFP+ direct-attach links and InfiniBand or 10G Ethernet protocols.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, low-latency connection with native SFP+ interfaces on both ends, enabling simple plug-and-play installation in switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP+ direct-attach or optic links. Its 1 m length is optimized for short-distance interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks, reducing excess cabling and signal degradation. Designed with industry-grade components and tested for compatibility, it supports common high-speed protocols such as 10GBase-CR, Fibre Channel, FCoE and InfiniBand up to 10 Gbit/s on short links.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections inside server racks and between adjacent racks
• 10G Ethernet switching and uplink connections using SFP+ ports
• Storage area network links and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
• InfiniBand connections where SFP+ compatible interfaces are supported

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+ (male/male)
• Cable length: 1 meter
• Supported protocols: 10G Ethernet (10GBase-CR), Fibre Channel, FCoE, InfiniBand
• Transmission class: up to 10 Gbit/s over short distances
• Cable type: direct-attach compatible twinax/active direct attach implementation for short links
• Compliance: MSA-compatible SFP+ interface

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors latch securely. Use the 1 m length for short interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks to minimize excess cable. Confirm that both devices support the selected protocol (10G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FCoE or InfiniBand) and accept SFP+ direct-attach or optical modules as required by the hardware. If passive twinax operation is expected, verify device compatibility with passive DAC cables in the equipment documentation or firmware settings.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, handle SFP+ connectors by the housing, avoid sharp bends or strain on the cable, and keep cable runs within the recommended 1 m distance for optimal signal integrity. Verify interoperability with your specific switch, router or storage model and request a compatibility test sample if needed before large deployments.
