BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M-F5 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP+ Black

The BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M-F5 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP+ Black is a 2‑metre high-speed Interconnect cable with SFP+ form-factor connectors designed for short-range, high-throughput networking links. It provides a direct, male-to-male connection for devices equipped with SFP+ ports and is intended for use in data centres, server racks, and network switches where reliable, low-latency connectivity is required.

Advantages

This SFP+ cable supports high data rates suitable for InfiniBand environments and offers a compact, lightweight design that reduces cabling bulk in dense rack installations. Its fixed 2 m length simplifies planning for short inter-equipment runs and the black outer jacket provides a neutral appearance for organised cabling. The cable uses SFP+ compatible terminations to maintain signal integrity and is built to provide consistent performance for point-to-point connections.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections between servers and switches with SFP+ ports
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row cabling in data centres
• Low-latency InfiniBand links for storage and HPC clusters
• Upgrading or replacing existing SFP+ copper/fibre patch links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male-to-male
• Cable length: 2 metres
• Interface/Protocol: InfiniBand compatible, SFP+ form factor
• Cable colour: Black
• Typical use: Short-range, high-throughput point-to-point links

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP+ modules and InfiniBand or compatible SFP+ interfaces. Power down or follow hot-swap procedures according to your equipment documentation before inserting or removing SFP+ connectors. Insert each end of the cable into the corresponding SFP+ port until it seats securely. Verify link status via the device management interface and monitor for expected link speed and signal indicators. For removal, release any retention mechanism and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radii recommended by equipment vendors. Keep the length appropriate for the run—this 2 m cable is best for short interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. Store and handle the cable in clean conditions to prevent contamination of connector interfaces and follow ESD precautions when working in sensitive network environments.
