BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M-AA InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP+ Black

The BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M-AA InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP+ Black is a direct-attach cable designed for short-range, high-speed connectivity between SFP+ ports. With a 2 metre length and SFP+ male-to-male connectors, this cable supports 10 Gigabit class links commonly used in switches, network interface cards and storage systems. The black jacket provides a practical, low-profile appearance suitable for rack and server environments.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable offers low-latency, stable data transfer for InfiniBand and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects. The direct-attach form factor eliminates the need for separate transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing component count. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management in data centre racks and equipment cabinets, while the robust connector design ensures reliable mating and signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches and servers
• Short-reach links in data centres and server rooms
• High-throughput storage area networks (SAN)
• Point-to-point InfiniBand connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 2 metres
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps (InfiniBand / 10 Gigabit class)
• Cable jacket colour: black
• Form factor: direct-attach copper/fibre optic hybrid suitable for short-range links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support 10 Gbps SFP+ direct-attach connections and are powered down or hot-plug capable according to manufacturer guidance. After installation, verify link lights and negotiated speed through device management interfaces. Remove the cable by depressing the connector latch and pulling straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. Use appropriate cable management within racks to maintain airflow and prevent connector strain. Confirm compatibility with your switch or server vendor for SFP+ direct-attach cables when using proprietary hardware.
