InfiniBand optický kabel BlueOptics MC3309124-004-BL 5 m SFP+ samec-samec

The BlueOptics MC3309124-004-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 5 m SFP+ Male-Male is a 5 metre direct-attach solution with SFP+ connectors on both ends designed for short-range, high-speed interconnects in racks and adjacent rack rows. Engineered for data centre and enterprise networking environments, this cable supports 10G-class protocols over a passive twinax copper design and is MSA-compliant for plug-and-play compatibility with SFP+ ports that accept passive DACs.

Advantages

This 5 m SFP+ male-to-male cable provides a low-latency, low-power connection suitable for dense rack deployments. Its passive twinax construction eliminates active electronics in the cable, reducing power draw and failure points while delivering up to 10 Gbit/s on short links. Manufactured to industry MSA standards and built from industry-grade components, it offers predictable electrical performance and long service life for stable connectivity.

Suitable for

• Short-range server-to-switch connections inside racks
• Interconnects between adjacent racks in data centres
• High-speed storage and SAN links supporting 10G protocols
• InfiniBand, Ethernet and FCoE applications up to 10 Gbit/s

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 5 metres
• Transmission type: passive twinax copper direct attach
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Wire gauge: 24 AWG typical for twinax assemblies
• MSA compliance for SFP+ interfaces

How to use

Install by inserting the SFP+ plugs into compatible SFP+ ports on each device until the latch engages. Ensure both devices officially support passive DAC SFP+ interconnects and power is applied only after secure insertion if required by your equipment guidelines. For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain and keep it away from sources of electromagnetic interference. Regularly inspect connectors for contamination and re-seat if intermittent links occur.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance links where passive SFP+ DACs are supported by the hardware. Verify vendor compatibility with your switches, servers or storage systems before deployment and consider lab testing in critical environments. Avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius and maintain tidy cable management to preserve signal integrity and extend service life.
