BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU1M InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m SFP+ Black

The BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU1M InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m SFP+ Black is a 1-metre direct-attach cable designed for short-range, high-speed connections using SFP+ interfaces. It has SFP+ male connectors on both ends and supports reliable, low-latency data transfer suitable for network equipment in data centres and server rooms. The cable is intended for environments where compact, high-bandwidth links are required between switches, network interface cards and storage arrays.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable provides a compact physical connection that reduces signal loss compared with longer multimode fibre runs for short distances. Its SFP+ form factor allows plug-and-play compatibility with compliant ports, delivering consistent 10 Gigabit performance and low latency. The 1 m length minimises cable clutter while enabling flexible equipment placement within racks and adjacent enclosures. The cable's construction offers stable electrical characteristics for dependable link integrity.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10GbE or InfiniBand links between switches and servers
• Direct connections between network interface cards and top-of-rack switches
• High-density rack environments where space and cable management are important
• Storage area networks requiring low-latency data paths

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 1 metre
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps (SFP+ standard)
• Cable colour: black
• Application: short-range InfiniBand and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the connector latches. Ensure both devices are powered down or that hot-swap procedures recommended by the device manufacturer are followed. After insertion, verify link status in the device management interface and check for negotiated link speed and duplex. If necessary, consult device logs or LED indicators to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use the 1 m direct-attach cable for connections within the same rack or between adjacent racks to maintain signal quality and minimise excess cable. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force when routing the cable. Verify compatibility with your network equipment's SFP+ ports and follow equipment vendor guidance for transceiver and cable installation.
