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

The BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M-IB InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP+ Black is a 2-metre SFP+ cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand connections. It features male-to-male SFP+ connectors and is intended for short-range links in racks, patch panels and server-to-switch connections where reliable 10 Gbps class throughput and low-latency signalling are required.

Advantages

This SFP+ InfiniBand cable delivers stable, low-latency performance suitable for high-throughput environments. The 2 m length offers flexibility for rack-level connections without excess slack. Its SFP+ form-factor ensures compatibility with devices that support SFP+ sockets, while the robust outer jacket and connector design provide mechanical reliability during frequent plug-and-play operations.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in data centres
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters using InfiniBand
• Short-reach rack and cabinet interconnects
• Patch panels and top-of-rack networking

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed optical/active copper (as specified for SFP+ InfiniBand usage)
• Length: 2 metres
• Colour: Black
• Data rate: suited for 10 Gbps-class InfiniBand links and compatible low-latency signalling
• Form factor: SFP+ compliant

How to use

Insert the SFP+ connector ends into the SFP+ ports of the two devices to be linked, ensuring each connector seats firmly until the latch engages. Use the 2 m length to route the cable neatly inside racks or between adjacent cabinets, avoiding tight bends and contact with heat sources. Confirm link status and interface settings on both endpoints after connection; some devices may require enabling the port or selecting an InfiniBand profile in firmware or operating system settings.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors, secure cables to minimize strain at the ports, and verify compatibility with the SFP+ ports of your equipment. For multi-path designs or performance-sensitive environments, test links under expected load to confirm latency and throughput meet system requirements.
