InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics JH696C-BL 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics JH696C-BL 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ Male/Male connectors is designed for high-speed data transmission between SFP+ ports. This single 1-metre jumper combines optical transmission and InfiniBand compatibility to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity in data centres, server racks and high-performance computing environments. The product name reflects its blue outer jacket and SFP+ terminations on both ends for direct connection between compatible transceivers or SFP+ ports.

Advantages

This 1 m BlueOptics cable offers stable signal integrity and minimal insertion loss thanks to precision-terminated fibre endfaces and a robust jacket that resists physical wear. Its SFP+ Male/Male configuration supports straightforward installation without adapters and is suitable for short-reach optical links that require high throughput. The cable is lightweight and flexible to ease routing in dense rack environments while maintaining consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network interface cards
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand fabric links
• Short-reach optical links in data centres and equipment cabinets
• Upgrading or replacing existing short optical jumpers

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector type: SFP+ Male on both ends
• Media type: Fibre optic / InfiniBand compatible
• Colour: Blue outer jacket
• Suitable for short-reach, high-bandwidth links and low-latency connections

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP+ optical transceivers and are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines provided by the device manufacturers. Align and insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it clicks into place. Route the 1 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the connectors. After connection, verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated link speed and error counters to ensure correct operation.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in a clean environment, avoiding exposure to sharp bends or crushing. For optimal performance, pair the cable with compatible SFP+ modules and verify transceiver compatibility and firmware settings on networking equipment. Replace the cable if physical damage or repeated link errors are observed.
