InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 55114107-BL 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 55114107-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable connectivity in data centers and networking environments. The cable supports SFP+ interfaces and a male-to-male connector configuration to link SFP+-equipped devices over a short 1 metre distance. It is intended for applications where a compact, direct connection with low latency and predictable performance is required.

Advantages

This 1 m BlueOptics SFP+ cable offers a standardized SFP+ form factor compatible with devices that accept SFP+ direct-attach or fibre optic modules. The short, fixed-length design reduces signal degradation across the specified distance and simplifies rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections. Passive construction and the use of a single, short link help minimize power consumption and latency compared with longer or active link alternatives. The cable is suitable for environments where consistent, repeatable connectivity and straightforward installation are priorities.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+-equipped switches, routers and storage systems over a 1 m span
• Short-range InfiniBand or fibre optic links in data centre racks
• Direct attach connections between adjacent rack units or modules

Key specifications

• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends (male/male configuration)
• Intended signals: InfiniBand and fibre optic high-speed data transmission
• Form factor: SFP+ compatible direct-attach cable
• Application range: short-distance rack and intra-rack connections

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP+ connections and the targeted transmission protocol (InfiniBand or compatible fibre optic signalling). Power down or follow hot-swap guidelines for your equipment if required by the hardware vendor. Align and insert each SFP+ plug securely into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch engages. Verify link status and configure interface parameters on connected devices as needed for your network topology and protocol settings. For removal, release the latch mechanism and pull the connector straight out to avoid stressing the port.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP+ cable for short-range, high-speed links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with your device vendor's SFP+ port requirements and the supported protocols before deployment. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile force on the cable; store and route it following standard fibre optic and SFP+ handling practices to maintain performance and longevity.
