BlueOptics MCP2101-X02AA-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 3 m SFP+

The BlueOptics MCP2101-X02AA-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3 m SFP+ patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in professional networking environments. Constructed for reliable signal integrity and low attenuation, this fibre optic cable is intended for use in data centres, storage networks and server-to-switch connections where SFP+ interfaces and InfiniBand protocols are required. The cable supports long-term operation and is provided by the BlueOptics brand for structured fibre deployments.

Advantages

The 3 m fibre cable provides stable high-bandwidth connectivity with SFP+ compatible transceivers and InfiniBand equipment while minimising signal loss over the link. Its connectorised design simplifies installation and replacement in rack and cabinet environments. The product is built according to industry fibre standards, offering consistent optical performance and compatibility with common SFP+ ports used in switches, servers and storage systems.

Suitable for

• Data centre link between switches and servers with SFP+ ports
• InfiniBand clusters for high-throughput computing
• Storage area network (SAN) links requiring optical SFP+ connections
• Rack and cabinet structured fibre cabling where 3 m length is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: single-mode or multimode fibre finish compatible with SFP+ InfiniBand transceivers (refer to transceiver type when selecting)
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+ connectorised fibre ends
• Length: 3 metres
• Transmission: designed for InfiniBand and 10 Gbit-class SFP+ optical links
• Construction: factory-terminated patch cable for plug-and-play installation

How to use

Inspect both SFP+ ports and the cable connectors for dust or contamination before installation. Gently insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding transceiver or SFP+ port until it clicks into place. Ensure that connected transceivers and host hardware support InfiniBand or the intended 10 Gbit optical protocol. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. When removing the cable, unlock the SFP+ latch and pull straight out to avoid damage to the connector or port.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics 3 m SFP+ fibre cable with matching SFP+ optical transceivers and ensure both ends use compatible fibre types (single-mode or multimode) as required by your transceivers and network hardware. Regularly clean connector end faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools and verify link parameters in network equipment after installation.
