InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics 330-5967-BL 3 m SFP+ stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics 330-5967-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-range high-speed links. It supports 10G-class data transmission and is compatible with equipment that accepts SFP+ direct attach or passive twinax-style connections. The cable is suitable for rack-to-rack and intra-rack connections in data centers, network cabinets, and high-performance computing environments where reliable 10 Gigabit links are required.

Advantages

This 3 m SFP+ cable provides a compact, low-latency connection with passive design and low power consumption. It is MSA-compliant and built to work with major hardware platforms that support SFP+ direct attach connections. The cable uses industry-standard connectors to ensure straightforward installation and interoperability when used with compatible SFP+ ports.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links
• High-performance computing clusters and storage arrays
• Short-distance InfiniBand, Ethernet (10GBase-CR) and FCoE links

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Transmission medium: passive twinax / suitable for short-range electrical direct attach applications
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG (typical for twinax DAC)
• Compliance: MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor and signaling

How to use

Connect each SFP+ connector to the respective SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring ports are powered down or follow the manufacturer's hot-plug guidance if required. Verify that the devices’ firmware and driver settings support passive direct attach SFP+ cables for 10G operation. After physical connection, check link status on both devices and configure relevant network settings (speed, duplex, VLANs, or protocols such as Ethernet/FCoE/InfiniBand) as needed.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance links up to 3 m where a passive SFP+ direct attach solution is supported. Avoid tight bends and excessive mechanical strain on the cable or connectors. Ensure compatibility with the specific hardware model and firmware level before deployment and consult device documentation if link negotiation or compatibility options are present.
