InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-P-5M-BL 5m Male/Male

The BlueOptics 10G-SFP-TWX-P-5M-BL is a 5 metre SFP+ fibre optic cable with Male-to-Male connectors, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and Ethernet links in data centres and enterprise networks. Manufactured for stable 10 Gb/s transmission, this cable combines a compact SFP+ form factor with a flexible 5 m length to connect switches, servers, storage units and transceivers with minimal signal loss and predictable latency.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides reliable 10 Gigabit data transmission with low insertion loss and consistent signal integrity across its 5 m length. The SFP+ male terminations ensure straightforward hot-pluggable connectivity with compatible transceiver ports. The cable’s build supports dense cabling environments, reducing clutter while maintaining performance, and its shielding and connector design help maintain stable links under continuous operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches and servers
• Linking storage arrays to hosts in SAN environments
• Short to medium runs in data centre racks and network cabinets
• High-bandwidth InfiniBand and 10GbE connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ Male to SFP+ Male
• Data rate support: 10 Gigabit per second (10 Gb/s)
• Length: 5 metres
• Cable type: Fibre optic assembly for SFP+ ports
• Use environment: Designed for rack- and cabinet-mounted equipment in data centre and enterprise networks

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP+ direct-attach or compatible SFP+ transceivers and power down equipment if required by your site procedures. Align each SFP+ male connector with the corresponding SFP+ port and insert until the latch engages. Verify link status on connected devices and monitor for proper link speed and error-free transmission. For removal, depress the release mechanism before extracting the connector to avoid port damage.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for fibre assemblies. Use proper cable management in racks to prevent stress on connectors and keep distance from high-interference electrical sources. Periodically inspect connectors for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre-optic cleaning tools if needed to preserve link quality.
