BlueOptics MCP2102-X003B InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Male Male

The BlueOptics MCP2102-X003B InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Male Male is a duplex multimode link designed for high-speed interconnects in data centres and networking environments. This 3-metre cable uses SFP+ compatible connectors on both ends to support low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between switches, servers and storage systems. The product is intended for short-reach InfiniBand and Ethernet links where reliable optical transmission and compact connector form factors are required.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides a standardized SFP+ interface that simplifies installation and replacement in existing transceiver-based systems. The duplex construction supports bidirectional data transfer with low crosstalk and stable optical performance. At 3 metres length the cable offers sufficient reach for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections while remaining manageable in cable routing. The design emphasizes compatibility with SFP+ ports and consistent signal integrity for demanding networking applications.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between SFP+ ports in data centres and server rooms
• High-bandwidth InfiniBand or Ethernet links for compute and storage clusters
• Rack-to-rack and within-rack optical cabling where a 3 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male duplex
• Cable length: 3 metres
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fibre suitable for short-reach InfiniBand/Ethernet
• Compatibility: SFP+ form-factor transceivers and ports
• Design: duplex cable for bidirectional optical transmission

How to use

Ensure both endpoints are powered down or ports are in hot-plug mode according to your equipment documentation before inserting the cable. Align each SFP+ connector with the corresponding host port and insert until it seats securely; follow the latch or retention mechanism of the transceiver or port. Route the 3 m duplex cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Verify link status and speed through the host devices' management interface after connection.

Recommendations

Use this SFP+ duplex cable in environments where short-reach optical links are appropriate; avoid exposure to excessive mechanical stress and contamination of connector endfaces. Clean connector endfaces before insertion if necessary and store spare cables in protective packaging to prevent dust ingress.
