Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics X1983-5-R6-BL 5 m SFP+ preto

The BlueOptics X1983-5-R6-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ Black is a 5-metre high-speed connectivity cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends. Designed for short-distance links inside racks and between adjacent racks, the cable supports 10G-class data transmission and is suitable for use in switches, routers, storage systems and other networking equipment that accept SFP+ direct-attach connections. The cable’s black jacket and robust construction are intended to provide a professional appearance and mechanical durability appropriate for data centre and network installations.

Advantages

This cable offers a direct-attach solution for 10G applications with low latency and low power consumption typical of passive twinax/direct attach assemblies. It is manufactured to comply with MSA-relevant standards for SFP+ interconnects and uses high-quality components to enhance long-term reliability. The single-ended SFP+ connectors on both ends make installation straightforward in supported hardware platforms, while the 5 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-adjacent-rack connections.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10G links inside racks and between adjacent racks
• Connecting switches, routers and storage systems with SFP+ ports
• Data centre patching and top-of-rack connectivity
• InfiniBand, Ethernet, Fibre Channel and FCoE applications up to 10G where passive DAC is supported

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Cable length: 5 metres
• Transmission class: up to 10 Gbit/s per the 10GBase-CR / SFP+ passive DAC application
• Cable type: passive direct attach twinax copper assembly suitable for short runs
• Wire gauge: 24 AWG (as used in twinax passive assemblies)
• Colour: black

How to use

Install the BlueOptics X1983-5-R6-BL by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices to be linked, ensuring the transceiver latches are securely seated. Verify that the connected hardware platform supports passive SFP+ direct attach cables (DAC) and configure link settings in the devices’ management interfaces as required by your network topology and protocol (Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FCoE or InfiniBand). After physical installation, confirm link status and negotiate speed and duplex according to the equipment’s capabilities.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route and secure the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for twinax assemblies and avoid repeated flexing. Use passive DACs for short interconnects where the hardware explicitly supports passive SFP+ direct attach cables, and pair with compatible switches, routers or storage systems from manufacturers that accept SFP+ passive DAC modules.
