InfiniBand/optický kabel BlueOptics 5 m SFP+ samec/samec 46K6184-L36836B-BL

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ Male/Male 46K6184-L36836B-BL is a 5-m direct attach cable designed for short-distance, high-speed network links. It provides SFP+ to SFP+ connectivity suitable for Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications up to 10 Gbit/s over a 5 m reach. The cable uses a passive twinax construction with 24 AWG conductors and is compliant with MSA SFP+ pinouts to ensure interoperability with major networking hardware that supports compatible 10GBase-CR direct attach cables.

Advantages

This 5 m SFP+ male-to-male cable delivers low latency and low power consumption typical of passive direct attach copper solutions. Its MSA-compliant SFP+ terminations and quality components provide reliable electrical performance for short-range rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections. The passive twinax design simplifies installation and reduces potential points of failure compared with active transceiver-based links.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Linking storage systems and servers requiring 10 Gbit/s short-reach connections
• High-density network setups in data centers and server rooms
• Applications using Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand at 10G

Key specifications

• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Transmission: up to 10 Gbit/s over 5 m
• Cable type: passive twinax copper
• Conductor gauge: 24 AWG
• Compliance: MSA SFP+ pinout compatible

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ ports of the devices to be connected. Ensure both devices support passive 10GBase-CR direct attach cables and verify link configuration in device firmware or management interfaces if necessary. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and secure it within racks to prevent disconnection during maintenance.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m passive SFP+ twinax cable for short-distance, high-throughput links where low latency and low power are priorities. Confirm compatibility with your switch, router or storage vendor for passive DAC support and test links after installation to validate signal integrity and negotiated speeds.
