Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics AA1403020-E6-NT-BL 5 m SFP+ conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics AA1403020-E6-NT-BL is a 5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-range, high-speed interconnections. Marketed under BlueOptics and compatible with common 10GBase-CR and SFP+ ports, this cable supports up to 10 Gbps data transfer for rack-level links in data centres, high-performance computing clusters and networking hardware that accepts SFP+ direct attach connections. The cable combines a twinax copper construction for electrical signal transfer over short distances with SFP+ terminations to fit standard SFP+ ports.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable, low-latency 10 Gbps connectivity suitable for short-distance links in racks and between adjacent racks. As a passive direct attach solution, it consumes minimal power and has no active electronics, which reduces points of failure and simplifies installation. The construction follows industry MSA guidelines and uses quality components to ensure compatibility with major switches, routers and storage systems that support SFP+ or 10GBase-CR connections.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack and intra-rack 10 Gbps links
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage arrays with SFP+ ports
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand-capable systems (short range)
• Fibre Channel and FCoE deployments that accept 10GBase-CR DACs

Key specifications

• Cable type: passive twinax copper (direct attach)
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 5 metres
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• AWG: 24
• Compliance: MSA-compatible SFP+ direct attach
• Typical power consumption: very low (passive, ~0.1 W typical environment)

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the matching SFP+ port on the two devices to be linked, ensuring the latch engages and the connectors are seated fully. Use the 5 m passive direct attach cable for short-distance connections within racks or between adjacent racks, and verify both devices are configured to use 10GBase-CR or SFP+ direct attach links. No external power or additional transceivers are required. After installation, check link status in the devices' management interface to confirm connectivity and correct speed negotiation.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics 5 m SFP+ direct attach cable in environments where passive, low-latency, cost-effective 10 Gbps connections are needed. Avoid exceeding the recommended distance for passive twinax cables and ensure both endpoints officially support passive SFP+ DACs. For longer distances or fibre runs, choose active transceivers with appropriate fibre optic cabling.
