InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics S26361-F3873-L505-BL 5 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics S26361-F3873-L505-BL is a 5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission. Built for use in data centers, server rooms and network racks, this cable provides a stable optical link for switches, servers and storage systems supporting SFP+ interfaces. The single cable length of 5 metres allows flexible routing between adjacent racks or within cabinet enclosures while maintaining signal integrity for short-distance high-bandwidth connections.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers low latency and high throughput characteristics suitable for InfiniBand and SFP+ applications. Its male-to-male SFP+ terminations ensure direct compatibility with SFP+ ports without additional adapters. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability, reducing the need for intermediate patch panels in compact installations. The cable is manufactured to industry tolerances for optical performance, aiming to deliver consistent connection quality and minimized signal loss over the specified distance.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both devices to be connected support SFP+ optical ports and are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines from the device manufacturer. Align and insert the SFP+ connector into each SFP+ transceiver slot until it clicks into place. Route the 5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for fibre optic cables. After connection, verify link status on both devices and check port activity LEDs or management software to confirm successful link establishment.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid kinking the cable and keep connector end faces clean; use appropriate cleaning tools before insertion. Use the 5 m length primarily for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections and choose longer or shorter lengths according to rack layout. Observe equipment manufacturer guidelines for hot-plugging and transceiver compatibility to ensure stable operation.
