InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics 61495-BL 1 m SFP+ stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics 61495-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends. Designed for short-range, high-speed links, this cable supports 10G-class connections and is suitable for direct attach applications between SFP+ ports in racks, adjacent racks and within networking hardware that accepts SFP+ passive twinax or optical interconnects. The 1 metre length and male-to-male SFP+ interface enable compact, low-latency connections in server rooms, storage enclosures and switch stacks.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized SFP+ interface for straightforward plug-and-play installation and is MSA-compliant for compatibility with SFP+ ports. Its 1 m length reduces excess cabling and helps maintain tidy rack layouts. As a direct attach option for short distances, it offers low latency and low power consumption compared with longer active optic assemblies. Components and assembly are matched to support reliable operation in data center and enterprise network environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10G links between switches and servers
• Interconnections inside racks and between adjacent racks
• Storage area network (SAN) and Fibre Channel environments supporting SFP+
• InfiniBand and Ethernet applications up to 10 Gbit/s where SFP+ endpoints are used

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Nominal cable length: 1 metre
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: direct attach twinax / short-range fibre optic (manufacturer designation indicates compatibility with SFP+ direct attach use)
• Compliance: MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 61495-BL by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors latch securely. Use this cable for short, point-to-point connections where both endpoints provide SFP+ interfaces and support passive direct-attach or short-range optical links. Verify device firmware and port settings to enable the appropriate transmission protocol (Ethernet, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand) and confirm link status through the equipment management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the cable; maintain recommended bend radius and route the cable to prevent mechanical stress. Confirm that both connected devices support passive SFP+ direct attach or the indicated short-range optical connection. For critical links, test the cable in your specific hardware configuration before deployment and store unused cables in a dry, dust-free environment.
