InfiniBand-/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics 45W2408-IB 3 m SFP+ stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics 45W2408-IB is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed connections in data centers and professional networking environments. It provides a direct SFP+ to SFP+ link suitable for short-range high-throughput applications and is intended for use with equipment that supports SFP+ interfaces and InfiniBand or other compatible protocols.

Advantages

This 3 m cable delivers reliable electrical and optical connectivity with SFP+ form-factor compatibility. Its male-to-male SFP+ connectors enable straightforward plug-and-play installation between compatible switches, routers, storage systems and host adapters. The cable supports high data rates and low latency transmission appropriate for InfiniBand and related networking standards, while keeping installation and cabling complexity to a minimum.

Suitable for

• Short-range links between rack-mounted switches and adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch or storage-to-switch connections in data centers
• InfiniBand clusters and high-performance computing interconnects
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-throughput SFP+ connections

Key specifications

• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and SFP+ compatible networking protocols
• Design: direct attach cable for short-range high-speed links
• Typical applications: data center interconnects, server and storage cabling

How to use

Confirm that both devices support SFP+ interfaces and the targeted protocol (InfiniBand or other SFP+ compatible standards). Power down or follow hot-plug guidelines of the hardware vendor, insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it latches, and verify link status via device management interfaces. Use diagnostics and monitoring tools provided by the switch or host adapter to confirm correct link speed and operation.

Recommendations

Avoid sharp bends and excessive cable tension; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and keep the cable clear of sources of EMI. For passive direct-attach use, ensure host hardware supports passive DAC or the cable’s electrical/optical characteristics. Store and route the cable to prevent kinks and inspect connectors for contamination before insertion.
