InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics MCP2100-X001B 1 m SFP+ Male

The BlueOptics MCP2100-X001B is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male connectors designed for high-speed networking environments. It supports reliable data transmission over short distances and is intended for use in data centres, server rooms and other professional networking installations where low latency and stable throughput are required.

Advantages

This 1 m BlueOptics cable combines compatibility with SFP+ interfaces and the low-loss characteristics of fibre optic transmission. Its compact length reduces excess cable slack in dense rack environments, improving airflow and cable management. The cable construction ensures signal integrity for high-bandwidth links while the SFP+ male terminations provide straightforward connectivity to compatible transceivers and interfaces.

Suitable for

• High-speed links between switches and servers in data centres
• InfiniBand interconnects for compute clusters and storage arrays
• Short-reach fibre connections in server cabinets and network racks
• Upgrading or replacing SFP+ fibre connections in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (fibre optic)
• Media type: Fibre optic (suitable for InfiniBand and SFP+ applications)
• Colour: Blue
• Designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ male connector into the appropriate SFP+ transceiver or port until securing latches engage. Ensure transceivers on both ends are compatible with fibre optic SFP+ connections and that devices are powered down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and physical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the transceiver or fibre type to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this cable in short-reach connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Verify link settings and transceiver compatibility before deployment, and avoid excessive bending or compression of the cable. Regularly inspect connectors for dust and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to maintain reliable transmission.
