InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics X1983-2-R6-BL 2 m SFP+

The BlueOptics X1983-2-R6-BL is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends. It provides a reliable physical link for high-speed data transmission in rack environments and short-distance interconnects. The cable is designed for use where SFP+ interfaces are required and where predictable signal integrity and low latency matter, such as data centres and high-performance computing clusters.

Advantages

This SFP+ fibre optic cable combines a compact 2 m length with SFP+ termination to deliver stable 10G-class connectivity between compatible devices. The construction supports consistent signal performance and keeps latency low for time-sensitive applications. The product is manufactured to industry physical-interface standards so it integrates with major switches, storage systems and routers that accept SFP+ fibre or InfiniBand connections.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports in rack-mounted switches and servers
• Short-distance links in data centres and server rooms
• High-performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand or 10G connectivity
• Storage networks and SAN segments using SFP+ interfaces

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Supported transmission: InfiniBand and 10G-class optical/fibre signalling
• Designed for short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Insert the SFP+ connector into the SFP+ cages of the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch engages to secure each end. Use the 2 m length to connect adjacent rack units or neighbouring equipment within the same rack row. Verify that connected hardware supports the intended protocol (InfiniBand or 10G optical) and that SFP+ ports are enabled in device firmware or management interfaces before initiating data flows.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the cable; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and route the cable away from sources of mechanical interference. Check device compatibility lists and enable the appropriate interface settings in switches and servers. For critical links, verify performance after installation by running link diagnostics or throughput tests.
