BlueOptics MCP2102-X001A-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m SFP+ Black

The BlueOptics MCP2102-X001A-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 1 m SFP+ cable designed for high-speed data connections in racks and adjacent equipment. Featuring SFP+ connectors on both ends and a black jacket, the cable supports 10 Gbps-class links for short-reach interconnects in data centers, server rooms and network closets. The durable construction and industry-standard SFP+ interface ensure straightforward integration with switches, routers, storage systems and transceivers that accept SFP+ optical or InfiniBand modules.

Advantages

This 1 m SFP+ cable provides reliable high-speed transmission with low insertion loss and consistent optical performance suitable for InfiniBand and 10G Ethernet-class applications. The cable is built to industry mechanical and optical tolerances, enabling stable connections in dense rack environments and reducing the need for frequent replacements. Compact SFP+ connectors allow space-efficient cabling while the single-meter length simplifies short-distance links without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between switches and servers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• InfiniBand and 10G-class storage and compute interconnects
• Linking SFP+ transceivers and compatible network equipment in data centers

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic / InfiniBand compatible with SFP+ connectors
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Color: black jacket
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps class links (SFP+ performance range)
• Application environment: data centers, server rooms, rack interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the appropriate SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connector latch engages and the transceiver module is fully seated. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. After connection, verify link status and negotiated speed on both endpoints and confirm proper optical signal levels or link indicators before beginning production traffic.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this cable in equipment that supports SFP+ optical/InfiniBand modules and observe vendor guidelines for passive/active link compatibility. Keep the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference and secure it within the rack to prevent accidental disconnection. When deploying multiple parallel links, label both ends to simplify maintenance and future changes.
