InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics MCP2100-X02AB-BL 3 m SFP+ stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics MCP2100-X02AB-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic direct attach cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends designed for short-reach, high-speed data links. It supports 10G transmission over a passive twinax copper construction (30 AWG) and follows MSA guidelines, making it suitable for interconnecting switches, routers, storage systems and other rack-mounted hardware that accept SFP+ DACs.

Advantages

This cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency connection for short-distance links with low power consumption due to its passive design. Built to industry MSA standards and assembled with high-quality components, it is compatible with major hardware platforms that support the same SFP+ DAC form factor. The 3 m length is optimized for in-rack and adjacent-rack connections, and quality testing ensures reliable signal transmission and long operational lifetime.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and routers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Short-distance storage area network (SAN) links and server connections
• InfiniBand, Ethernet, FCoE and Fibre Channel applications up to 10 Gbit/s

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends (male)
• Length: 3 meters
• Transmission rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive twinax copper, 30 AWG
• Form factor: Direct Attach Cable compatible with SFP+ ports
• Standards: MSA-compliant design for SFP+ DAC usage

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector firmly into compatible SFP+ ports on the devices to be linked, observing the correct orientation and ensuring both devices support passive DAC cables. No external power or transceiver modules are required. After seating the connectors, verify link status on the connected hardware and configure network interfaces per the device manufacturer’s instructions and chosen protocol (Ethernet, InfiniBand, FCoE or Fibre Channel).

Recommendations

Use this passive 3 m SFP+ DAC for in-rack or adjacent-rack connections where short, high-bandwidth links are required. Avoid bending the cable sharply; follow device vendor guidelines regarding supported DAC types to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
