Cabo InfiniBand/fibra ótica SFP+ BlueOptics V10GDAC-1M-BL 1 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics V10GDAC-1M-BL is a 1 meter InfiniBand / fibre optic style direct attach cable (DAC) with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-distance, high-speed links in racks and between adjacent racks. The cable implements a passive 10GBase-CR twinax copper connection with 30 AWG conductors and is MSA compliant, enabling straightforward use with networking, switching and storage hardware that supports SFP+ passive DACs. It is intended for electrical signal transfer over 1 m distance and supports Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications up to 10 Gbit/s.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, low-latency connection without active components, resulting in low power consumption and a simple, robust construction with a low failure rate. Compliance with MSA specifications and the use of high-quality components support broad hardware compatibility and long service life. As a passive SFP+ twinax solution, it offers a cost-effective connection option for short-distance interconnects in data center environments.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections inside racks
• Switch-to-switch links across adjacent racks
• Storage system interconnects supporting SFP+ DAC
• Short-distance 10 Gbit/s Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 1 meter
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive twinax (direct attach copper)
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Standards: MSA-compliant; suitable for 10GBase-CR applications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the latching mechanism engages. Use this cable for short point-to-point connections between compatible switches, routers, servers and storage systems that explicitly support passive SFP+ DACs. No external power or transceivers are required on the cable itself; device firmware must allow passive DAC operation. Verify link status on connected devices after insertion.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, maintain recommended port compatibility according to the equipment vendor, and keep the cable length to the specified 1 m for optimal signal integrity. If in doubt about vendor compatibility, test with a spare port or request a sample before large deployments.
