InfiniBand/optický kabel HPE R9D20A 3 m SFP+ samec/samec

The HPE R9D20A 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ Male/Male connectors provides a direct, low-latency link for high-speed networking applications. Designed for use in professional environments, this 3-metre cable supports short-range fibre or InfiniBand connections between compatible SFP+ ports. The cable is available in standard black and white finishes and is intended for rack, switch and server interconnects where predictable performance is required.

Advantages

This SFP+ Male/Male cable offers reliable high-bandwidth transmission with reduced signal loss and minimal latency. Its 3 m length balances reach and cable management inside racks and cabinets. The cable’s terminated SFP+ connectors enable hot-pluggable installation into SFP+ ports, simplifying deployment and replacement. The construction and connector compatibility make it suitable for dense data centre layouts and enterprise networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and servers with SFP+ ports
• Short-range InfiniBand or fibre optic links in data centres
• High-speed storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• Server-to-server direct links within racks

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector type: SFP+ Male to SFP+ Male
• Supported link type: InfiniBand / fibre optic (short-range)
• Weight: 0.1179 kg
• Available colours: Black, White

How to use

Verify that both devices have compatible SFP+ ports and that the network settings match the intended link speed and protocol. Insert the SFP+ connectors into the appropriate ports until they latch, taking care to orient the connectors correctly. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and strain on the connectors, securing it with cable ties or management panels as needed. After physical installation, confirm link status and negotiate speed through device management interfaces or LEDs.

Recommendations

Use the 3 m length to maintain tidy patching inside racks and to reduce excess slack. Avoid tight bends and exposure to sources of mechanical stress. For compatibility, match the cable to SFP+ ports certified for InfiniBand or corresponding fibre optic modules; consult device documentation if link negotiation fails. Store spare cables in a dry, dust-free environment to preserve connector integrity.
