InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics 00AY764-BL 2 m SFP+

The BlueOptics 00AY764-BL is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends designed for short-reach, high-speed interconnects. It supports 10G-class links and is intended for use in racks and adjacent-rack connections where low latency and reliable signal integrity are required. The cable is described as compatible with systems that accept the original Lenovo 00AY764 10GBase-CR Direct Attach Cable (DAC) and follows MSA-compliant SFP+ connector standards.

Advantages

This 2 m cable provides a direct attach solution for electrical 10G links with low power consumption and minimal latency. Constructed to meet industry MSA requirements, it is suitable for deployment in data centers and enterprise environments where consistent connectivity is necessary. The product is tested for compatibility with major hardware platforms that support the corresponding 10GBase-CR interface and is built from commonly used, reliable components to ensure a long service life.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers in the same rack or adjacent racks
• Linking storage systems and servers with SFP+ ports
• 10G Ethernet, FCoE and Fibre Channel or InfiniBand applications up to 10 Gbit/s over short distances

Key specifications

• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: passive direct attach twinax copper (DAC) suitable for short-reach electrical signal transfer
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• MSA compliant SFP+ interface

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors are fully seated and any retention latches are engaged. Use the 2 m length for connections inside a rack or between adjacent racks. Confirm that the connected hardware supports passive 10GBase-CR DAC cables and that firmware or port settings allow passive DAC operation. No additional power or external transceivers are required when ports support passive SFP+ DACs.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain bend radius according to standard recommendations for twinax cables. Use this cable for short-distance links only and verify device compatibility with passive SFP+ DACs before deployment. When replacing or upgrading switches, re-check port support and firmware compatibility to ensure continued interoperability.
