MicroOptics SFP+ 10Gb/s InfiniBand cable, 3 m, passive copper, black

MicroOptics SFP+ 10Gb/s InfiniBand cable, 3 m, passive copper, black is a 3‑meter passive twinax assembly that provides a 10 Gigabit per second link between SFP+ ports. Designed for short‑reach, high‑throughput connections, this cable supports direct attach interconnects between servers, switches and storage devices where InfiniBand SFP+ compatibility and low latency are required.

Advantages

The passive copper twinax design delivers low latency and consistent 10Gb/s throughput without the need for external power or active signal conditioning. Its SFP+ to SFP+ terminations provide plug‑and‑play compatibility with standard SFP+ ports that support InfiniBand, simplifying deployment in rack‑to‑rack or within‑rack topologies. The 3 m length offers flexibility for short interconnect runs while maintaining signal integrity typical for passive twinax solutions.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• Direct attach links between servers and storage arrays with SFP+ ports
• Within‑rack cabling where low latency and 10Gb/s bandwidth are required
• Environments using InfiniBand SFP+ compatible transceivers and ports

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gb/s
• Cable type: Passive twinax (copper)
• Connectors: SFP+ to SFP+
• Length: 3 m
• Colour: Black
• Use case: Short‑reach high‑speed interconnect

How to use

Insert one SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the first device and the other connector into the SFP+ port of the second device while both devices are powered according to their manufacturer instructions. Ensure that both ports support passive twinax direct attach cabling and InfiniBand SFP+ mode. After physical connection, verify link status on each device and check network configuration and speed settings to confirm 10Gb/s operation.

Usage recommendations

Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling during installation to preserve signal integrity. Use the 3 m length for short interconnects; for longer runs, consider active copper or optical solutions. Verify compatibility with your equipment vendor documentation to ensure full InfiniBand SFP+ support.
