Cabo InfiniBand/fibra ótica BlueOptics AX-F0110-3D1CU3M-BL 3 m SFP+ macho/macho

The BlueOptics AX-F0110-3D1CU3M-BL is a 3 m InfiniBand / fibre optic SFP+ cable with male-to-male connectors designed for short-range high-speed links in racks and between adjacent racks. It implements the SFP+ interface for 10 Gigabit-class connectivity and is suitable for Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications when used within the supported transmission protocols and hardware platforms. The cable is a passive direct-attach type using twinax copper construction with 30 AWG conductors, providing a compact and low-power connection option for switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP+ passive DACs.

Advantages

This 3 m SFP+ male/male cable offers low latency and low power consumption typical of passive direct attach twinax solutions. It is MSA-compliant and built from quality components to ensure consistent electrical characteristics and long service life for short-reach high-speed links. The cable supports multiple 10 Gbit/s protocols over its 3 m length and provides a cost-effective alternative to active optical modules for applicable rack-to-rack and intra-rack connections.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack and intra-rack 10 Gbit/s links
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections with SFP+ ports
• Storage systems and SAN interconnects using compatible SFP+ interfaces
• Short-range InfiniBand and Fibre Channel links where passive DAC is supported

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable length: 3 m
• Conductor: twinax copper, 30 AWG
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gbit/s (per supported protocol)
• Application compatibility: Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand (when supported by hardware)
• Form factor: passive direct attach cable (DAC), MSA compliant

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring both devices support passive DAC SFP+ links and the chosen protocol. Handle the cable by the connector bodies and avoid excessive bending or strain on the cable assembly. After insertion, verify link status and negotiated speed on both devices and consult device vendor documentation if the link does not come up; some hardware platforms may require explicit support or configuration for passive DACs.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance, high-throughput interconnects in data center racks where devices explicitly list compatibility with SFP+ passive twinax cables. Avoid routing the cable near sources of strong electromagnetic interference and keep bend radius above manufacturer guidelines to preserve signal integrity and maximize service life.
