Cable BlueOptics 9370CMSASCAB3-0030 3 m 12 Gbit/s SFF-8644

The BlueOptics 9370CMSASCAB3-0030 is a 3 m high-speed data cable engineered for reliable serial data transfer at up to 12 Gbit/s. Equipped with SFF-8644 connectors on both ends, this cable is suitable for point-to-point connections in server racks, storage arrays and network appliances that accept SFF-8644 interfaces. The design focuses on stable signal transmission and compatibility with high-performance environments such as data centers and enterprise computing systems.

Advantages

This 3 m cable provides a balance between reach and low-latency performance while maintaining a 12 Gbit/s bandwidth for demanding applications. The use of SFF-8644 connectors on both ends ensures a standardized physical interface and straightforward installation. Constructed for consistent throughput and signal integrity, the cable reduces connectivity-related interruptions in high-density setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to storage controllers and RAID arrays
• Interlinking switches and high-performance network adapters
• Short-run interconnects inside data center racks and enclosures
• High-throughput computing and virtualization clusters

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Maximum data rate: 12 Gbit/s
• Connector type: SFF-8644 on both ends
• Intended use: Short-reach, high-speed serial interconnects
• Typical environments: Data center, enterprise server rooms, storage systems

How to use

Prepare both devices by powering them down if required by the equipment manufacturer. Align the SFF-8644 connectors with the corresponding ports and insert each end until it seats securely; ensure retention mechanisms or latches engage where present. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of electromagnetic interference. If live hot-plugging is supported by the connected equipment, follow the vendor’s hot-swap procedures. After connection, verify link activity and throughput through device diagnostics or management software.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks, maintain a bend radius recommended by your hardware vendor, and keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines. Use this cable for short-reach interconnects inside racks and enclosures rather than long-distance runs. Inspect connectors for contamination before insertion and clean with appropriate tools if necessary.
