BlueOptics X6566B-1-R6-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m SFP+ Black

The BlueOptics X6566B-1-R6-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m SFP+ Black is a 1-metre high-speed interconnect designed for short-reach links in data centers and networking racks. It features SFP+ connectors on both ends and is intended to provide reliable, low-loss data transmission for equipment that accepts SFP+ interfaces. The cable is suitable for environments where stable 10 G-class connectivity and compact cabling are required.

Advantages

This SFP+ fibre optic cable offers low signal loss and stable performance for high-speed applications. Its 1 m length simplifies rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections while minimizing slack and clutter. The presence of SFP+ connectors on both ends ensures compatibility with SFP+ ports, enabling straightforward plug-and-play installation in supported hardware. The product is manufactured to meet established mechanical and electrical interface expectations for SFP+ fibre interconnects.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between switches, routers and storage systems with SFP+ ports
• Intra-rack and adjacent-rack links in data center environments
• High-speed InfiniBand and 10G-class networking applications where SFP+ optics are used

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand fibre optic with SFP+ connectors on both ends
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: SFP+ (both ends)
• Colour: Black
• Application: Designed for high-speed data transmission and low signal loss in short-distance links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking devices, ensuring the connector latches are engaged. Use a single 1 m cable for direct connections within a rack or between adjacent racks. Verify link negotiation and port settings on connected devices according to the hardware vendor instructions. Handle the fibre cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, confirm that the connected devices support SFP+ fibre transceivers and the intended protocol (InfiniBand or 10G-class Ethernet). Keep bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum for fibre cables and avoid mechanical stress at connector interfaces. For critical installations, test the link after installation and monitor error counters via the host equipment to ensure expected performance.
