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

The BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M-FJ InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP+ Black is a 2-metre direct-attach cable designed for InfiniBand and 10GbE SFP+ ports. This cable uses SFP+ compatible connectors in a male-to-male configuration to provide a short-reach, low-latency connection between switches, servers and storage devices. With a rugged black jacket and factory-terminated ends, the cable is intended for reliable point-to-point links inside racks and across adjacent racks in data centre and networking installations.

Advantages

The cable provides high-speed data transfer and low latency suitable for InfiniBand and SFP+ environments. Its fixed length and factory-terminated connectors reduce installation time and minimize connector variability. The compact SFP+ form factor occupies minimal port space and supports direct connection without additional transceivers, helping to lower system power consumption and complexity. The black outer jacket offers mechanical protection and easy visual identification in cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between servers and top-of-rack switches
• Interconnects in high-performance computing and InfiniBand clusters
• Direct-attach links for storage arrays and SANs
• Patch connections inside data centre racks

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / SFP+ direct-attach cable
• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Colour: Black outer jacket
• Application: Short-reach, point-to-point data links
• Latency: Low, suitable for high-performance networking

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector firmly into the corresponding SFP+ port on networking equipment, ensuring the latch engages to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excess strain; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for the cable type. For installation in racks, use cable management panels or ties to keep the cable organised and to prevent stress on connectors. Verify link status on connected devices after insertion to confirm successful negotiation and data transmission.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m SFP+ InfiniBand cable for short internal links where a reliable, low-latency connection is required. Avoid outdoor exposure and prolonged mechanical strain; store unused cables coiled without tight loops. For longer distances or different topologies, select appropriate optical transceivers and fibre cables matched to system requirements.
