Fibre optic cable BlueOptics FN-CABLE-SFP+1-BL SFP+ LC/UPC 1 m Black

The BlueOptics FN-CABLE-SFP+1-BL SFP+ LC/UPC 1 m Black is a 1 metre fibre optic patch cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends and LC/UPC terminations. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this single cable provides a standardized optical connection for SFP+ ports and is suitable for professional networking environments that require low-loss optical links and predictable signal performance. The cable's black jacket offers an understated appearance for rack- and cabinet-mounted installations.

Advantages

This 1 m fibre optic cable uses LC/UPC connectors to provide low insertion loss and stable return loss characteristics suitable for SFP+ transceivers. The pre-terminated SFP+ to SFP+ form factor simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional adapters. Its compact length minimizes excess slack in dense rack installations while maintaining the optical performance expected for InfiniBand and other high-speed networking applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches, servers and transceivers
• InfiniBand and 10Gb+ optical links requiring LC/UPC termination
• Short patch runs in racks, cabinets and data centre patch panels
• Environments where a discrete black cable colour is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Termination: LC/UPC
• Application: high-speed optical links (SFP+ compatible)
• Product colour: Black
• Weight: 0.08 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics FN-CABLE-SFP+1-BL by inserting each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ cage or transceiver on network devices, ensuring the LC/UPC ferrules are clean and aligned before mating. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; adhere to minimum bend radius recommendations from the device or transceiver manufacturer. Verify link status at the devices after connection and, if applicable, test optical parameters such as power level and link integrity using the network equipment's diagnostics or an optical power meter.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, clean LC/UPC endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools prior to installation, avoid tight bends and kinks, and use the 1 m length for short patch runs to reduce excess slack in racks. Confirm SFP+ transceiver compatibility and support for LC/UPC terminated fibre when integrating with existing hardware.
