InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics CBL-0348L 3 m SFP+ Male

The BlueOptics CBL-0348L 3 m SFP+ Male InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is designed for high-speed data transmission in networking environments. This 3-metre cable uses SFP+ male connectors on both ends to establish direct optical links between compatible networking equipment. It is intended for use where low-latency, high-bandwidth connections are required and where a compact, standardised SFP+ interface is preferred.

Advantages

The cable delivers high data throughput and supports InfiniBand and fibre optic applications with consistent signal integrity across the 3 m length. Its SFP+ male connectors provide a standardised physical interface for straightforward installation and interoperability with devices that accept SFP+ modules. The cable construction balances flexibility and durability to withstand typical cable management and routing in racks and enclosures.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, servers and storage systems with SFP+ ports
• Short-reach high-bandwidth links in data centres and server rooms
• InfiniBand fabric interconnects and fibre optic network segments
• Point-to-point links requiring low latency and stable optical performance

Key specifications

• Cable type: Fibre optic designed for InfiniBand/SFP+ use
• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends
• Length: 3 metres
• Colour: Blue
• Intended use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth optical connections

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible SFP+ ports and support the intended optical link type. With power to the devices off or ports administratively down if required by your site procedures, align each SFP+ connector with the corresponding port and insert until the connector latches. After physical connection, verify link status in the device management interface or LED indicators and bring ports into service according to your network configuration. Avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius when routing the cable to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in environments free of excessive dust and moisture. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, and verify compatibility with the SFP+ port specifications of the connected equipment. For critical deployments, test the link performance after installation and keep spare cables for rapid replacement if needed.
