InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel SFP+ BlueOptics PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-2M-BL 2m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-2M-BL is a 2-meter SFP+ direct attach cable (DAC) designed for short-distance 10G connections between SFP+ ports. This passive twinax copper cable offers a fixed male-to-male SFP+ connection in a compact assembly, suitable for high-density rack and adjacent-rack links where low latency and low power consumption are required. The cable is MSA-compliant and intended for Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications up to 10 Gbit/s over a 2 m distance.

Advantages

The cable provides a low-latency, low-power and cost-effective solution for 10G interconnects without active electronics in the cable assembly. Its twinax copper construction and SFP+ terminations deliver reliable electrical signal transmission for short runs while maintaining industry-standard mechanical compatibility. The compact 2 m length supports tidy rack wiring and reduces excess cable bulk in server rooms and data closets.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Direct attach links between servers and top-of-rack switches
• Storage and SAN connections supporting 10G, FCoE or Fibre Channel protocols over short distances
• InfiniBand-connected equipment that accepts SFP+ DACs

Key specifications

• Cable type: passive twinax copper direct attach cable
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 2 m
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Power consumption: passive (no active components in the cable)
• Colours: black and silver housing
• Weight: approx. 0.08 kg

How to use

Insert each SFP+ plug firmly into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices, ensuring the latches engage. Use the 2 m length to connect equipment within the same rack or between adjacent racks; verify that both devices support passive SFP+ DACs and the intended protocol (Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand). No additional configuration is required at the cable level, but confirm link settings and speed on the connected hardware after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends or excessive strain on the cable and secure it to prevent movement in dense cable bundles. Use this passive 2 m SFP+ DAC for short, direct connections only; for longer distances, select appropriate active optical or copper solutions. Verify compatibility with your device vendor's guidance if the hardware enforces vendor-specific module checks.
