Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics 01-SSC-9788-BL 3 m SFP+ conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics 01-SSC-9788-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-reach, high-speed links in racks and adjacent rack connections. It provides a physical connection between SFP+ ports on switches, routers, storage systems and other compatible network devices, supporting up to 10 Gbps signalling where the connected equipment and protocol support SFP+ interfaces. The cable is supplied in blue jacketing for visual identification in structured cabling environments.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable offers a compact, direct-attach solution for short-distance high-bandwidth links, eliminating the need for separate transceivers. Its male-to-male SFP+ termination ensures plug-and-play connectivity with devices that accept SFP+ direct-attach cables. The design is compliant with common SFP+ mechanical form factors and is suitable for InfiniBand, Ethernet and Fibre Channel topologies when used in supported configurations.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between SFP+ ports in switch-to-switch links within and between adjacent racks
• Server to switch uplinks where SFP+ direct-attach is supported
• Storage system links and short Fibre Channel or FCoE connections where SFP+ passive cabling is permitted

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic / SFP+ direct-attach style
• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Colour: blue jacket
• Typical supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps (dependent on equipment and protocol support)

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP+ direct-attach passive cabling or the relevant interface for InfiniBand/fibre connections. With the equipment powered down or according to the vendor’s hot-plug guidance, align the SFP+ connectors and insert the cable ends into the SFP+ cages until they latch. Verify link activity and negotiated speed on both endpoints via device indicators or management interfaces. If a link does not establish, confirm that the devices support passive SFP+ cables and check interface settings and firmware compatibility.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-range links inside racks or across adjacent racks; avoid routing through long cable trays intended for optical transceivers. Confirm vendor compatibility and firmware support for passive SFP+ direct-attach cabling before deployment to ensure reliable operation.
