BlueOptics EBR800-TWX-3M-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ 3m

The BlueOptics EBR800-TWX-3M-BL InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ 3m is a 3-meter multimode fiber link designed for high-speed data transmission between network devices that accept SFP+ modules. It connects switches, servers and storage systems using standardized SFP+ interfaces and supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links over a short to medium distance. The cable is intended for data centre and enterprise networking environments where predictable signal quality and stable throughput are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides high data transfer rates and electrical isolation typical of optical links, reducing susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. The SFP+ terminated design enables hot-pluggable connectivity with compatible transceivers and ports, simplifying installation and maintenance. With a 3 m length, it offers a balance between flexibility and tidy cable management in rack and server deployments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between SFP+ ports on switches and servers
• Connections to storage arrays and SAN equipment
• Short to medium reach links inside data centers and server rooms
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends for optical transceiver compatibility
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Media: fibre optic (multimode)
• Supported link type: InfiniBand and other SFP+ optical links
• Typical use: short to medium range high-bandwidth links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 3 m fibre cable by inserting the SFP+ connector ends into the compatible SFP+ transceiver ports on each device until they click into place. Ensure that both endpoints use compatible optical transceivers and that the transceiver types and fibre mode match across the link. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress, and secure it following your rack or cable management guidelines. After physical installation, verify link status through the devices' management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed and link health.

Recommendations

Use matching multimode SFP+ transceivers on both ends, keep bend radius within manufacturer limits, and avoid exposure to contaminants on connector endfaces by using protective caps when the cable is disconnected. Perform optical cleaning before insertion and monitor link status after installation.
