BlueOptics UDC-2-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP+ Black

The BlueOptics UDC-2-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP+ Black is a 2-metre high-speed connection cable with SFP+ terminations on both ends. Designed for data center and rack environments, it provides a compact, black-clad optical link intended for short-range high-throughput connectivity. The construction emphasises durability and compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP+ InfiniBand connections, offering a simple cabling option for switches, storage systems and server interconnects.

Advantages

The cable delivers a standardized SFP+ interface for InfiniBand-class links, enabling 10G and compatible high-speed data transfer over a 2 m distance. Its black outer jacket and robust build reduce wear in rack environments while maintaining a low-profile installation. Being an SFP+-terminated optical link, it avoids active electronics in the cable itself and relies on host interfaces for signal handling, which simplifies deployment and reduces power draw at the connection point.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+-equipped switches and routers in adjacent racks
• Short-range InfiniBand links between servers and storage arrays
• High-speed interconnects inside data centres and equipment racks

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Application: InfiniBand / 10G-class high-speed data links
• Design: Black outer jacket for professional rack environments
• Form factor: Fibre optic direct attach with SFP+ termination

How to use

Verify that both endpoints support SFP+ InfiniBand links and that the required transmission protocol and speed are enabled in the host hardware. With equipment powered down or following your site hot-plug policy, insert the SFP+ connectors into the SFP+ ports until they latch. Route the cable through the rack to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors. Power on the devices and confirm link status through the host interfaces or management software.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and protect connectors from dust when not in use. Use this 2 m SFP+ fibre optic cable for short-range, high-speed interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks; for longer distances or other transceiver types, select an appropriate optical or copper solution that matches the required link budget and protocol support.
