InfiniBand/kuitu-kaapeli BlueOptics X6566B-05-R6-BL 0,5 m SFP+

The BlueOptics X6566B-05-R6-BL is a 0.5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for short-distance, high-speed interconnects in data centers and networking racks. It provides a compact, vendor-compatible connection for SFP+ ports and is intended for linking switches, servers and storage devices where a reliable 10 G-class physical link or InfiniBand connectivity is required over a 0.5 meter span.

Advantages

The cable offers a short, direct connection with minimal latency and predictable electrical/fiber performance suitable for rack-to-rack or in-rack connections. As an SFP+ terminated solution it enables easy plug-and-play installation in equipment with SFP+ ports and adheres to common mechanical and electrical interconnect conventions for compatibility. The 0.5 m length reduces excess cabling and helps maintain tidy rack layouts while supporting high-speed data transmission.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches and routers inside racks
• Short links between servers and storage systems in data center cabinets
• InfiniBand or 10G-class links where a 0.5 m cable meets distance requirements
• Environments requiring compact, low-latency direct connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Length: 0.5 meter
• Designed use: InfiniBand and high-speed fibre optic or compatible 10G-class links
• Application environment: data centers, server racks, networking equipment

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors are oriented correctly and latched if the module design includes a latch. Verify that both devices are powered and configured to support the chosen transport protocol (10G Ethernet, FCoE or InfiniBand as applicable). After insertion, check link status indicators on each device and confirm the connection at the software/network layer.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics 0.5 m SFP+ cable for short, direct connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and maintain appropriate cable management to prevent strain. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ passive/direct attach solutions and validate link parameters after installation.
