BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-P-0508-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ Black

The BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-P-0508-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ Black is a 5-meter multimode fibre assembly with SFP+ terminations on both ends. It is designed for high-speed data transfer between network devices such as switches, servers and storage systems in data centres and enterprise environments. The cable provides a compact, plug-and-play connection that supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links for 10 Gigabit-class InfiniBand and Ethernet applications.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers consistent transmission performance with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives. Its SFP+ connector compatibility enables direct installation into transceiver ports for straightforward interoperability with SFP+ modules and ports. The 5 m length balances flexibility and signal integrity for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections inside server rooms and network racks.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centres
• Direct links between switches, routers and servers
• High-bandwidth storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• Low-latency InfiniBand compute clusters
• Enterprise backbone and aggregation links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends suitable for SFP+ ports
• Length: 5 metres
• Cable colour: Black
• Application: 10 Gigabit-class InfiniBand and compatible Ethernet links
• Performance: Low latency, high-bandwidth link for short-range connections
• Construction: Fibre optic multimode assembly designed for structured cabling environments

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding transceiver or SFP+ port on your network devices until it clicks into place. Ensure transceivers and ports are compatible and that devices are powered down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your hardware vendor. Route the cable through cable management paths to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 5 m SFP+ fibre cable for short-range links within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid sharp bends, kinks and exposure to mechanical stress. Verify that connected transceivers support the intended data rate and protocol (InfiniBand or Ethernet) and keep connectors capped when not in use to prevent contamination.
