BlueOptics SFPP-DAC-5M-SY-BL InfiniBand optický kábel SFP+ 5m konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics SFPP-DAC-5M-SY-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 5m Male/Male is a 5‑meter direct attach cable designed for short-range, high-speed connections between SFP+ ports. It provides a passive twinax copper link compatible with SFP+ form factor hardware, suitable for connecting switches, routers, storage systems and servers in rack and adjacent-rack environments. The cable supports 10G data rates over a 5 m distance and follows MSA-compliant SFP+ DAC specifications to ensure mechanical and electrical interoperability with major networking platforms.

Advantages

The cable delivers a low-latency, low-power solution for short distance links and is designed for straightforward plug-and-play use in systems that accept passive SFP+ DAC twinax connections. Manufacturing follows multi-source agreement (MSA) standards and uses high-quality components to provide consistent performance and extended service life. Passive design reduces the number of active components and contributes to low failure rates and reduced power consumption compared with active optics for equivalent short-range links.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers within racks
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage connections in data centers
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand environments requiring 10G links
• Short-range links where low latency and low power consumption are priorities

Key specifications

• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Transmission: Passive twinax copper (DAC)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Wire gauge: 24 AWG
• Form factor compliance: SFP+ MSA
• Typical applications: Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand (short range)

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ socket on the devices to be linked, ensuring secure mechanical seating. Use the cable for direct device-to-device connections within the supported 5 m distance. Verify that the connected hardware supports passive SFP+ DAC twinax cables and that firmware or vendor compatibility settings permit third-party DAC modules if required. No external power or additional transceivers are necessary for passive operation.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the hardware vendor. For critical production environments, test a sample cable in your specific hardware configuration to confirm interoperability and link stability before widescale deployment.
