InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 55114407101-BL 2 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 55114407101-BL is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, intended for high-speed data transmission in networking environments. Designed to link SFP+ ports, this cable supports reliable connectivity between switches, servers, storage systems and network interface cards. Its blue outer jacket provides easy identification in cable runs while the 2-metre length balances reach and cable management for rack and data centre installations.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides low-latency, high-bandwidth data transfer suitable for 10 Gigabit and compatible SFP+ environments. Constructed to maintain signal integrity over its 2 m length, it reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and supports stable connections in dense networking setups. The SFP+ male-to-male configuration ensures straightforward plug-and-play installation into standard SFP+ ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on network switches and servers
• Short-reach links in data centres and server rooms
• High-throughput storage area network (SAN) segments
• Enterprise network uplinks and aggregation links

Key specifications

• Type: InfiniBand / fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors
• Connector configuration: Male to male SFP+
• Length: 2 metres
• Colour: Blue outer jacket for easy identification
• Intended bandwidth class: Designed for 10 Gb/s class SFP+ environments and compatible high-speed links
• Application: Short-reach, high-speed network interconnects in racks and server rooms

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connector locks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the device or cable manufacturer. For rack installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on ports. Verify link status at both ends after installation and test throughput to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m SFP+ fibre optic cable in short-reach network segments where low latency and high bandwidth are required. Avoid excessive bending and mechanical stress; keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference even though fibre is immune to EMI. For mixed vendor environments, ensure SFP+ port compatibility and firmware settings if link negotiation issues occur.
