Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics X1983-3-R6-BL 3 m SFP+

The BlueOptics X1983-3-R6-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for short-distance, high-speed interconnects in server and network rack environments. It supports 10 G data rates and is intended for reliable, low-latency links between switches, servers and storage devices where SFP+ ports are used. The cable is suitable as a direct attach solution for adjacent rack connections and other cabling scenarios that require a 3 metre SFP+ to SFP+ interconnect.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable provides a straightforward connection method that minimizes latency and complexity while supporting common 10G protocols such as Ethernet, FCoE and Fibre Channel where supported by the attached devices. The product follows MSA-compliant physical connector standards for SFP+, enabling broad compatibility with hardware that accepts standard SFP+ modules. Its 3 m length is convenient for linking devices within the same rack or between neighboring racks and helps reduce excess cabling.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10G links between servers and switches
• Top-of-rack and adjacent-rack interconnections in data centers
• Storage system to switch connections supporting SFP+ ports
• Applications requiring low latency and reliable 10G throughput

Key specifications

• Cable type: SFP+ direct attach (twinax/passive electrical D A C compatible for 10G applications)
• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s (protocol-dependent)
• Applications: Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand where supported by host devices

How to use

Power off or follow hot-plug guidance of your network devices according to the vendor documentation. Insert the SFP+ connector at each end into the corresponding SFP+ port until it latches. Verify link status on both devices and configure network settings or port parameters on your switch, server or storage system as required by your environment. Ensure the devices you connect officially support passive SFP+ direct attach/twinax connections if using passive twinax operation.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short, intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where a 3 m SFP+ link is sufficient. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress at the connector boot, route the cable to prevent sharp kinks, and follow your equipment vendor’s compatibility and hot-plug instructions to ensure reliable operation.
