BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-0101-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-0101-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m SFP+ Male/Male is a single‑metre multimode link designed for 10 Gigabit network connections between SFP+ ports. Built for short‑reach high‑speed data transmission, the cable provides a direct optical connection for switches, servers and storage systems using InfiniBand or SFP+ interfaces. Its compact design and SFP+ male terminations allow straightforward insertion into standard transceivers and ports without adapters.

Advantages

This 1 m fibre optic cable supports reliable 10 Gb/s throughput with low insertion loss and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The SFP+ male/male terminations ensure compatibility with a broad range of SFP+ transceivers and InfiniBand equipment, reducing the need for converters or additional components. The short, fixed length helps maintain tidy cable routing in racks and minimizes signal attenuation compared with longer links.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Direct links between storage arrays and host adapters
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand
• Short-reach interconnects within rack enclosures

Key specifications

• Length: 1 m
• Interface: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate: compatible with 10 Gb/s InfiniBand/SFP+ applications
• Transmission medium: fibre optic (short-reach multimode characteristics)
• Connector type: hot-pluggable SFP+ termination for direct insertion into transceivers or ports

How to use

Verify that both devices support SFP+ or InfiniBand transceivers and that the transceiver modules (if required) are installed and powered down or live‑insertion capable. Insert the SFP+ ends of the cable firmly into the corresponding SFP+ ports or transceiver cages until the latch engages. After connection, confirm link status via device LEDs or management interfaces and configure port settings such as speed, duplex and VLAN parameters as needed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 1 m fibre cable for short‑reach links inside racks or between adjacent rack units. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius indicated by equipment guidelines. Keep connector end faces clean and capped when not in use; inspect and, if necessary, clean end faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before insertion.
