InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics X6566B-2-R6-BL 2 m SFP+ SFP+

The BlueOptics X6566B-2-R6-BL is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, intended for high-speed short-reach links in data centers and rack environments. It provides a direct physical connection for 10G-class networking applications where SFP+ interfaces are used, offering a compact cable length for connecting adjacent devices or equipment within the same rack or neighboring racks.

Advantages

This 2 m cable combines SFP+ connectivity with a design suited for short-distance high-throughput links, providing consistent transmission characteristics and low latency for supported protocols. The cable is designed to be MSA-compliant and to fit standard SFP+ ports, enabling straightforward installation and interoperability with devices that accept SFP+ optic or InfiniBand modules. Its modest length reduces cable clutter while maintaining reliable electrical/fibre transmission for 10G-class applications.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnections between switches and routers with SFP+ ports
• Server-to-switch links within racks or adjacent racks
• Storage and SAN equipment using SFP+ or InfiniBand interfaces
• High-performance computing nodes requiring low-latency links

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Supported link class: 10G-class short-reach (InfiniBand / fibre optic compatible usage as described)
• Application environment: data centers, racks, storage and networking equipment
• Design focus: short-distance high-throughput, low-latency connectivity

How to use

Install the BlueOptics X6566B-2-R6-BL by inserting each SFP+ connector into the respective SFP+ port on the two devices to be linked. Ensure both devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines of the equipment manufacturer if supported. Verify that the host equipment firmware or software supports passive/direct SFP+ cabling or the intended InfiniBand/fibre optic protocol. After insertion, check link status indicators on the connected devices and perform any necessary network configuration to enable the 10G link.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m SFP+ cable for short, direct connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends, keep the cable clear of airflow obstructions in server cabinets, and confirm device compatibility with SFP+ passive or active modules depending on the host equipment requirements.
