Cabo InfiniBand/fibra ótica SFP+ BlueOptics TAPCABLE-3M-BL 3 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics TAPCABLE-3M-BL is a 3-meter InfiniBand / fibre optic connection cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors, designed for short-range high-speed links in racks and adjacent rack rows. The cable supports 10G data rates and is intended for use where an SFP+ electrical/fibre connection is required for switches, routers, storage systems and other networking equipment that accept passive SFP+ direct attach solutions. Constructed to the SFP+ MSA guidelines, this 3 m cable provides a standardized physical and electrical interface for reliable interconnects in data center and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The cable offers a straightforward, low-latency connection for short-distance high-speed links and is compatible with equipment supporting SFP+ passive direct attach solutions. Its 3 m length accommodates common rack-to-rack and within-rack cabling runs without introducing active components or additional power consumption. Manufactured to multi-source agreement (MSA) specifications, the cable is built from widely used high-quality components to ensure interoperability and consistent performance across major hardware platforms.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10G links between switches and routers within or between adjacent racks
• Server to top-of-rack switch connections in data center racks
• Storage system interconnects requiring SFP+ interfaces
• InfiniBand and Fibre Channel environments where SFP+ passive direct attach is supported

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 3 meters
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive direct attach (twinax copper / short-range fibre-compatible usage as specified by the platform)
• Compliance: SFP+ MSA electrical and mechanical interface
• Typical use case: within-rack and adjacent-rack high-speed interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure that both devices support passive SFP+ direct attach cables and the same transmission protocol (Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand) at 10G speeds. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and physical stress; keep it clear of sources of electromagnetic interference and secure it within the rack to prevent strain on the connectors. When removing, release the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Verify platform compatibility before deployment: check the switch, router or host adapter documentation for support of passive SFP+ direct attach cables and the intended 10G protocol. For critical links, test a sample cable in your exact hardware configuration to confirm link negotiation and performance.
