InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 90Y9433 5 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 90Y9433 5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ Male/Male connectors is designed for high-speed data transmission in server rooms, data centres and network infrastructures. This 5 metre single cable supports reliable optical links between SFP+ ports, providing low-latency connectivity for InfiniBand or fibre channel applications. The BlueOptics model is built for straightforward installation and compact routing in rack environments.

Advantages

The cable provides stable optical performance with SFP+ plug-compatible terminations, reducing signal loss over the 5 m span. Its male-to-male connector configuration ensures compatibility with standard SFP+ ports on switches, host adapters and transceivers. The product's construction supports consistent bandwidth and minimal interference typical of fibre optic links, while the blue jacket simplifies visual identification within cabling bundles.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches, routers and network adapters
• InfiniBand links requiring low-latency optical connections
• Short to medium-range fibre optic interconnects in racks and cabinets
• High-speed storage area network (SAN) and server uplink connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic designed for InfiniBand and SFP+ environments
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 5 metres
• Colour: blue jacket for easy identification
• Use case: suitable for short- to medium-distance optical links in data centre racks

How to use

Ensure devices are compatible with SFP+ optical connections before installation. Power down or follow hot-swap procedures for your hardware as required by the device manufacturer. Align the SFP+ connectors with the ports and insert until a secure latch or click is felt. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by standard fibre practice and keep the connectors free of dust. Verify link status on connected devices and monitor for any errors once the connection is active.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable by the jacket and connectors, avoiding excessive bending and pulling. Use dust caps on unused connectors and perform regular inspection in critical installations. Select SFP+ transceivers and port configurations that match the intended InfiniBand or fibre protocol to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
