InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M 2 m SFP+ Black

The BlueOptics SFP-H10GB-CU2M is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for short-range, high-speed networking connections. It supports direct attachment of SFP+ ports on switches, routers and host adapters, providing a compact black cable solution for data centres and server racks where reliable 10 Gbps links are required. The 2 m length balances flexibility and neat cable management while maintaining signal integrity for high-throughput applications.

Advantages

This cable delivers a straightforward, low-latency connection with SFP+ form-factor compatibility, eliminating the need for additional transceivers when used on compatible ports. The male-to-male SFP+ terminations ensure plug-and-play installation, and the sturdy black jacket offers mechanical protection suited to typical rack and patch panel environments. By using a single-cable assembly optimized for 10 Gbps links, it reduces connector count and potential points of failure compared to multi-component setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches and servers in data centres
• Short-range trunking and uplink connections within racks
• High-throughput computing clusters and InfiniBand-enabled setups
• Patch panel and top-of-rack consolidation where 2 m cable lengths are practical

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Data rate: designed for 10 Gbps class links (SFP+ compatible)
• Cable colour: black
• Form factor: direct-attach copper/fibre-compatible SFP+ assembly for short-range connections

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the compatible SFP+ slot of the network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for the desired 10 Gbps link speed and verify link status via device indicators or management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; secure with cable management hardware as needed. If link negotiation does not complete, check port compatibility and firmware settings on the connected devices.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m SFP+ cable for short-range, high-speed links inside racks or between adjacent cabinets. Avoid repeated flexing near the connector ends and maintain bend radii recommended by equipment vendors to preserve signal performance. Verify equipment compatibility with SFP+ direct-attach assemblies before deployment.
