InfiniBand/kuitu-kaapeli BlueOptics MCP2101-X001A-BL 1 m SFP+

The BlueOptics MCP2101-X001A-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, intended for high-speed links in data centers and networking environments. It supports low-loss optical transmission over short distances and is suitable for connecting switches, servers and storage nodes where SFP+ interfaces are required. The cable is designed to provide reliable performance and straightforward installation in rack and adjacent-rack setups.

Advantages

This 1 m SFP+ fibre optic cable offers stable high-speed data transfer with minimal signal attenuation and electromagnetic immunity inherent to optical media. As a compact, plug-and-play SFP+ link it simplifies cabling in dense rack environments and reduces the need for transceivers that convert electrical signals over copper. The cable is MSA-compatible and engineered for interoperability with common SFP+ ports used in networking and storage equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches and routers within racks
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage connections in data centers
• Short-distance InfiniBand and 10G Ethernet links requiring fibre optics
• Environments where low latency and electromagnetic isolation are needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic with SFP+ connectors on both ends
• Length: 1 metre
• Supported interfaces: SFP+ (compatible with InfiniBand and 10GBase protocols)
• Transmission characteristics: designed for high-speed, low-loss optical transmission over short distances
• Construction: compact SFP+ terminated optical link for rack installations

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until it clicks into place. Ensure that both devices support SFP+ modules and the chosen transmission protocol (for example, 10GBase or InfiniBand) and that their software/firmware settings permit passive or optical SFP+ links as required. Route the cable within the rack to avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress, and verify link status indicators on both devices after installation.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the fibre; observe the manufacturer's minimum bend radius. Keep connector endfaces clean and protected before insertion to prevent signal loss. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ optical links and check link speeds in device diagnostics after installation.
