Cabo InfiniBand/fibra ótica SFP+ BlueOptics TAPCABLE-5M-BL 5 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics TAPCABLE-5M-BL is a 5-metre SFP+ InfiniBand/fibre optic direct attach cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends. Designed for short-range, high-speed links in racks and adjacent rack rows, the cable supports 10 Gbps data rates and is intended for use in switches, storage arrays and network adapters that accept standard SFP+ direct attach connections. The male-to-male SFP+ configuration ensures straightforward integration with equipment that follows SFP+ MSA guidelines.

Advantages

This 5 m SFP+ cable offers a low-latency, low-power interconnect suitable for dense rack deployments. Passive construction reduces complexity and failure points while lowering power consumption compared with active optical solutions. The cable conforms to SFP+ MSA interoperability norms and is manufactured from industry-standard components to provide consistent electrical characteristics and a long operational lifetime. The 5 m length provides a practical balance between reach and signal integrity for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack connections.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and routers within server racks
• Linking storage systems and host adapters supporting SFP+
• High-throughput InfiniBand or Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbps
• Data center short-reach cabling between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 5 metres
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Cable type: direct attach (passive) twinax / compatible InfiniBand/fibre optic implementation for short-range links
• Construction: MSA-compliant SFP+ interface and industry-standard cable assemblies

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices until the retention latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support passive SFP+ direct attach cables and are configured for the intended protocol (Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand up to 10 Gbps). Avoid tight bends and mechanical strain on the cable; route it within racks or between adjacent racks to minimize movement and interference. Verify link status and negotiated speed in the device management interface after physical installation.

Recommendations

Choose this 5 m SFP+ cable for short-distance, high-throughput links where a passive, low-latency connection is required. For reliable operation, confirm device compatibility with passive SFP+ DACs, maintain bend radii recommended by the vendor, and perform a link test after installation.
