Lanview InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7 m SFP+ Black

The Lanview InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7 m SFP+ Black is a passive direct attach copper cable engineered for efficient and reliable high-speed data transmission in modern networking environments. With a generous length of 7 meters, this cable provides flexible reach between network hardware, servers, and storage systems. It features male SFP+ connectors on both ends, ensuring a secure and stable connection for demanding IT infrastructures. The sleek black color finish allows for neat and professional cable management within rack setups and server rooms, helping maintain an organized workspace.

Advantages

This cable delivers reliable performance for high-speed data transfer needs, supporting speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s to ensure smooth and uninterrupted network operations. Its passive design simplifies deployment by eliminating the need for external power sources, making it a cost-effective and energy-efficient choice for data centers. Built with quality materials, it ensures consistent signal integrity over its 7-meter length, reducing the risk of packet loss or latency issues in critical applications. Furthermore, the robust SFP+ connectors are designed for secure attachment and repeated use without compromising performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to switches within a data center
• Networking applications requiring 10 Gbit/s data rates
• Short-range rack-to-rack or switch-to-switch connections
• Enterprise IT environments utilizing SFP+ compatible hardware

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance networking requirements exceeding its 7-meter length limit, as direct attach copper cables are specifically designed for short-range intra-rack or inter-rack connections. It is also not compatible with network equipment that lacks SFP+ ports or relies on different connector types without appropriate media converters.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7 m
• Connector 1: SFP+
• Connector 2: SFP+
• Connector gender: Male/Male
• Data transfer rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Passive direct attach copper cable
• Color: Black

How to use

To use the Lanview InfiniBand/fibre optic cable, ensure that both your networking devices, such as switches, routers, or servers, are powered off or properly configured to accept hot-swappable SFP+ modules. Remove the protective dust caps from the SFP+ connectors on both ends of the cable. Gently align the connector with the SFP+ slot on your first device and push it firmly until it clicks securely into place. Repeat the process for the second device. Once connected, power on the devices if necessary and verify the link status through your network management software to ensure a stable 10 Gbit/s connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing network hardware features available SFP+ ports
• Check the required distance between devices to ensure the 7-meter length is sufficient
• Confirm compatibility with your specific brand of switches or servers
• Assess your bandwidth requirements to ensure a 10 Gbit/s data rate meets your operational needs

Always inspect the connectors for dust or damage before installation, handle the cable with care to avoid sharp bends beyond its minimum bend radius, and ensure proper cable management to prevent strain on the SFP+ ports.
