InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-P-0501-BL 5 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-P-0501-BL is a 5 m InfiniBand / fibre optic cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this cable supports reliable, low-latency links between switches, servers and network devices. The cable's construction and SFP+ interface make it suitable for 10 Gbit/s environments where stable serial connectivity and simple hot-pluggable installation are required.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP+ cable provides a compact, low-profile connection that reduces signal loss and electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its SFP+ terminations allow direct insertion into compatible transceiver slots without additional adapters. The 5 m length offers a balance between reach and tidy cable management in racks and data centers, while the factory-terminated assembly ensures consistent performance and reduced installation time.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers
• Server-to-switch links in data center racks
• High-throughput storage networks and InfiniBand setups
• Short to medium distance fibre links inside cabinets and wiring conduits

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends
• Length: 5 metres
• Media: fibre optic / InfiniBand compatible
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable colour: blue

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ slot on network devices until the latch engages. Ensure that devices are powered down or support hot-plugging according to manufacturer guidance before insertion or removal. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and minimize mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for fibre optic assemblies. Verify link status and configure network interfaces on connected devices as required.

Recommendations

Handle fibre optic connectors by the housings to avoid contaminating end faces. Clean connector end faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before connection and avoid excessive bending or crushing. Use this cable for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections up to 5 metres to maintain optimal signal integrity.
