InfiniBand cable CBO AFBR-2CAR03Z-BO 3 m SFP+ orange

InfiniBand cable CBO AFBR-2CAR03Z-BO 3 m SFP+ orange is a factory-terminated, fixed-length high-speed connection cable designed for short-reach links between SFP+ ports. Intended for use in data centers, HPC clusters and storage networks, this 3-meter cable provides a low-latency physical link for server-to-server, server-to-switch and switch-to-storage interconnects. The orange jacket and SFP+-compatible termination identify it as a single-mode/fibre-quality high-performance cable for structured rack and cabinet deployments.

Advantages

This cable delivers a reliable, pre-terminated SFP+ interface that eliminates field termination and reduces installation time. Its fixed 3 m length minimizes excess slack in rack-mounted environments and supports low-latency, high-throughput data transfers required by InfiniBand architectures. The colored jacket simplifies visual identification and cable management in dense installations while the factory polishing and testing ensure consistent optical performance and compatibility with standard SFP+ ports.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between servers, switches and storage devices
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects
• Data center and rack-mounted network links requiring SFP+ compatibility
• Storage area networks and low-latency fabric connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ compatible factory-terminated optical connector
• Length: 3 meters fixed
• Performance: Designed for InfiniBand and SFP+ high-speed links with low latency
• Jacket color: Orange for easy identification
• Application: Short-reach data center and rack installations

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+-compatible end into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices, ensuring the latch engages and the connector is seated fully. Route the cable within the rack or pathway to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for fibre assemblies. Verify link status on connected equipment and perform any required interface configuration in your devices’ operating system or management interface.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector boots and avoid pulling on the fiber jacket. Maintain proper bend radius and secure the cable with appropriate management clips to prevent stress or signal degradation. Use this fixed-length SFP+ cable for short, high-bandwidth links and replace if the connector ends are visibly damaged or if optical link errors occur.
