Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics XEN-TWX-0311-BL 3 m SFP+ macho

The BlueOptics XEN-TWX-0311-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male connectors designed for short-range high-speed links. It is intended for use in rack-to-rack and adjacent-rack connections and supports electrical 10GBase-CR signaling when used as a direct attach twinax copper solution with SFP+ to SFP+ interfaces. The cable conforms to MSA-compliant SFP+ form-factor expectations and is compatible with common switch, router and storage platforms that support SFP+ DAC connections.

Advantages

The cable combines a 3 meter length with SFP+ male connectors to provide a reliable link for 10 Gbps-class applications over short distances. MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical characteristics help ensure interoperability across major hardware vendors. Passive direct-attach twinax construction yields low power consumption and low latency for short-range connections, while component selection and manufacturing testing aim to maintain consistent performance and long service life.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbps interconnects between switches, routers and storage devices
• Rack-to-rack or adjacent-rack links in data center environments
• InfiniBand and Fibre Channel applications that accept SFP+ DAC connections

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Supported link type: InfiniBand / fibre optic and 10GBase-CR (SFP+ DAC electrical signaling)
• Intended use: short-distance direct attach connections (rack/adjacent rack)
• Form factor compliance: SFP+ MSA compatible

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ male connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices. Ensure both connected devices support passive SFP+ direct attach twinax cables and the selected transfer protocol (Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand). Verify link status and negotiated speed on each device after connection. Avoid tight bends or kinks in the cable and route it to prevent mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m SFP+ cable for short, high-speed links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ passive DACs before deployment and perform a link test after installation. Avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic interference sources and maintain proper bend radius to preserve signal integrity.
