BlueOptics MCP2101-X003A-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+

The BlueOptics MCP2101-X003A-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3 m SFP+ to SFP+ cable designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking environments. It provides optical connectivity for InfiniBand links and SFP+ ports, enabling low-latency, high-throughput connections between switches, servers and storage devices. The product is intended for rack and cabinet deployments where reliable short- to medium-reach fibre links are required.

Advantages

This 3 m fibre optic cable offers consistent signal quality and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper links, resulting in stable performance in dense rack environments. The SFP+ connector form factor ensures compatibility with common transceiver ports and SFP+ cages. The cable’s optical transmission supports high data rates and maintains low latency suitable for InfiniBand and other high-performance networking applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches and servers in data centers
• InfiniBand fabric links for high-performance computing clusters
• Short- to medium-reach optical runs inside racks and between adjacent racks
• Storage network connections requiring low-latency optical links

Key specifications

• Cable type: multimode/mode unspecified optical fibre compatible with SFP+ transceivers
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Length: 3 m
• Application: InfiniBand / SFP+ compatible high-speed data links
• Transmission: optical, immune to EMI and suitable for low-latency operation

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the SFP+ connectors into compatible SFP+ transceiver cages or directly into SFP+ modules on network devices. Ensure both ends are fully seated and the device ports are powered and configured for InfiniBand or the intended protocol. Avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius for fibre optic cabling; keep connectors clean and protected until installation to prevent contamination and signal loss.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify that the connected devices support SFP+ optical modules and the intended InfiniBand link speed, and inspect connector endfaces before mating. Use fibre cleaning tools as needed and route the cable to avoid stress or tight bends that can degrade optical performance.
