Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics 5 m SFP+ negro 74752-3501-BL

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ Black 74752-3501-BL is a 5 meter direct attach cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for short-range high-speed links in racks and adjacent-rack environments. It supports passive 10G connectivity for Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications up to 10 Gbit/s on a 5 m distance. The cable uses a twinax copper construction compatible with SFP+ ports and is intended for use where reliable, low-latency electrical connections are required between networking hardware.

Advantages

This SFP+ direct attach cable provides a cost-effective solution for short-distance connections with low power consumption and low latency. The passive twinax design eliminates active components in the cable itself, reducing failure points and simplifying installation. Manufactured to meet MSA-compliant form factors, the cable is compatible with major switch, router and storage platforms that support passive SFP+ DACs. The 5 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or intra-rack cabling while maintaining 10G performance.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers within and between adjacent racks
• High-speed links for storage systems and servers requiring up to 10 Gbit/s
• InfiniBand and Fibre Channel short-range connections where SFP+ direct attach is supported
• Cost-sensitive data center and lab environments needing reliable 5 m DAC links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+ (male/male)
• Length: 5 m
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive twinax copper direct attach cable (DAC)
• Wire gauge: 24 AWG
• Color: black
• Standards: MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the retention latch engages properly. Use this cable for short, direct electrical connections between compatible switches, servers or storage modules that support passive SFP+ DACs. No additional power or configuration is required on the cable itself; device settings and firmware should be checked for compatibility with passive DACs prior to deployment.

Recommendations

Verify that the target hardware officially supports passive 10G SFP+ direct attach cables and that firmware does not restrict third-party DACs. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress, maintain recommended bend radius for twinax cables, and keep connectors clean before insertion to ensure optimal signal integrity.
