BlueOptics 45W2408 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Male-Male

The BlueOptics 45W2408 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Male-Male is a 3-metre high-speed optical patch cable designed for InfiniBand networking with SFP+ transceiver interfaces. It provides a direct fibre connection between SFP+ ports on switches, host channel adapters (HCAs) and other compatible networking equipment, supporting low-latency, high-throughput data transmission required in data centres, HPC clusters and enterprise fabrics.

Advantages

This BlueOptics cable offers a durable construction with precision-terminated SFP+ male connectors to ensure consistent optical alignment and minimal signal loss. The 3 m length balances reach and cable management needs in rack and cabinet environments. Its design is aimed at maintaining signal integrity for InfiniBand links and reducing the need for additional transceivers when direct-attach fibre is supported.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches, routers and host channel adapters
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Data centre interconnects and server-to-switch links
• Low-latency storage area networks and backup systems

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: Fibre optic suitable for InfiniBand protocols
• Length: 3 metres
• Application: Short-range, high-speed data links
• Performance: Designed for low-latency, high-throughput transmission

How to use

Verify that both devices support SFP+ direct fibre connections and power down equipment if required by your operational procedures. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it clicks into place, ensuring proper alignment and avoiding sharp bends in the fibre. After installation, confirm link status on the connected devices and check for expected throughput and latency metrics. Handle the cable by its connectors and follow site-specific cable management practices to avoid stress on the fibre.

Recommendations

Store and route the cable to avoid tight bends and crushing; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for fibre optics. Use in environments that meet the equipment’s thermal and cleanliness requirements. For optimal compatibility, confirm SFP+ port support for direct-attached fibre with your hardware vendor.
