BlueOptics XEN-TWX-0511-BL καλώδιο InfiniBand/οπτικών ινών 5 m SFP+ μαύρο

The BlueOptics XEN-TWX-0511-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ Black is a 5-metre direct attach solution with SFP+ connectors designed for high-speed links in rack and adjacent-rack environments. It supports up to 10 Gbit/s data rates and is suitable for short-distance electrical twinax connections where the SFP+ form factor is required. The cable is MSA-compliant and intended for use with hardware platforms that accept SFP+ passive direct attach twinax cables.

Advantages

This 5 m SFP+ twinax cable provides reliable high-speed connectivity with low latency and low power consumption typical of passive direct attach copper solutions. Manufactured with MSA-compliant components and tested for compatibility, it offers consistent performance for Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications up to 10 Gbit/s over the specified length. The passive design reduces complexity and failure points compared with active transceiver solutions.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbit/s links between switches and servers in racks
• Direct connections between adjacent rack hardware (switch-to-switch, switch-to-storage)
• Environments requiring SFP+ connectivity for Ethernet, FCoE or InfiniBand
• Data center top-of-rack cabling where low latency and low power are priorities

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Cable length: 5 metres
• Transmission medium: twinax copper (passive)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Wire gauge: 26 AWG
• Form factor compliance: MSA-compliant SFP+ interface
• Typical applications: Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ slot of the corresponding devices until the connector latch engages. Use the 5 m length for direct connections within or between adjacent racks; ensure both devices support passive SFP+ twinax DACs and the targeted protocol (Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand). Verify link status through the devices' management interfaces after connection and route cabling to avoid sharp bends or excessive mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, confirm device compatibility with passive SFP+ twinax cables before deployment, avoid tight cable bends and secure the cable to prevent strain on the SFP+ connectors. Use this 5 m cable for short-distance links where cost-efficiency, low latency and low power consumption are required.
