Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics AA1403019-E6-NT-BL 3 m SFP+ conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics AA1403019-E6-NT-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable rack-to-rack connectivity. This passive 10G twinax copper direct attach cable (DAC) supports 10GBase-CR electrical signalling over a 3 m distance and is MSA-compliant. It is intended for short-distance links in data centers and network racks where low latency and low power consumption are required.

Advantages

The cable offers compatibility with equipment supporting the original Nortel AA1403019-E6-NT specification, enabling straightforward replacement or expansion of existing infrastructures. Passive twinax construction delivers low latency and very low power use while keeping failure points minimal due to its simple design. Built with industry-standard components and MSA-compliant connectors, the cable provides consistent signal integrity for Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications up to 10 Gbit/s on a 3 m span.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, routers and storage systems in racks and adjacent racks
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-CR) links within data centres
• FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand links that require SFP+ to SFP+ connectivity
• Environments prioritising low latency and low power consumption

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Transmission type: Passive twinax copper (direct attach)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Compliance: 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 latches engage securely. Use this cable for short, direct electrical connections where the devices' firmware and hardware explicitly support passive 10GBase-CR twinax DACs. No external power or transceivers are required; the connected devices handle signalling and link negotiation. Verify link status through the device management interface after physical connection.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable within racks or between adjacent racks to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain. Confirm device compatibility with passive DACs before deployment and test links after installation. For longer distances or different signalling requirements, choose active DACs or optical transceivers and fibre cables instead.
