BlueOptics MCP2102-X02AB InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Black

The BlueOptics MCP2102-X02AB InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Black provides a 3-metre multimode optical link with SFP+ compatible connectors at both ends. Designed for short-range, high-throughput interconnects, this cable supports InfiniBand environments and SFP+ ports to enable low-latency, high-bandwidth data transmission between switches, servers, storage arrays and other networking equipment. The black outer jacket offers a standard, unobtrusive appearance for data centre and rack installations.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers stable signal integrity and consistent performance over its 3 m length, reducing link errors and retransmissions in high-speed networks. SFP+ form-factor connectors on both ends ensure plug-and-play compatibility with devices that accept standard SFP+ modules or direct attach optics. The cable's construction enables low insertion loss and predictable optical characteristics appropriate for InfiniBand and other 10 Gbit/s-class links.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches and servers within a rack or adjacent racks
• Short-reach InfiniBand interconnects in HPC or cluster environments
• Direct attach links for storage systems and host adapters
• High-density cabling runs in data centres where space and manageability are important

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ connectors on both ends (male-to-male)
• Cable application: InfiniBand and SFP+ compatible high-speed interconnects
• Jacket colour: Black
• Suitable range: Short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch or release mechanism is properly engaged. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radii specified by the equipment manufacturer. Verify link status on the connected devices and confirm negotiated speeds and link health through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid tight bundling with power cables, keep the cable free from kinks, and use appropriate cable management within racks. Confirm compatibility with your equipment's SFP+ port and any required optical specifications before deployment.
