InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 10G-SFPP-TWX-0508-BL 5 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 10G-SFPP-TWX-0508-BL is a 5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in professional networking environments. Fitted with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, this cable supports 10 Gigabit links and is suitable for short to mid-range connections between switches, servers, storage arrays and transceivers. Its blue jacket provides easy visual identification in cable runs while maintaining the signal integrity needed for low-latency applications.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers stable 10 Gbps throughput with minimal signal loss for demanding network traffic. The SFP+ male-to-male configuration ensures compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and allows straightforward insertion into compatible modules and devices. At 5 metres length, the cable balances reach and manageability for racks and patching panels, and the construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches, routers and network interface cards (NICs)
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in data centers
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects and high-performance computing clusters
• Short to medium distance backbone and patch panel connections

Key specifications

• Type: InfiniBand / fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector configuration: SFP+ male on both ends
• Rated data speed: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Jacket colour: Blue
• Designed for low-latency, high-throughput optical links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your devices until the connector latches. Ensure that both ends are seated securely and that connected transceivers or SFP+ modules are compatible with the cable type. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by your equipment to prevent attenuation. After physical installation, verify link status and speed through device management interfaces or LEDs on the connected devices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the BlueOptics 5 m SFP+ cable for direct device connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid repeated flexing and tight bends, and keep the cable away from sources of mechanical stress. Verify transceiver compatibility and firmware settings on network devices to ensure stable 10 Gbps operation.
