BlueOptics 00VX117-BL InfiniBand-kuitukaapeli 5 m SFP+ uros-uros

The BlueOptics 00VX117-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ Male Male is a 5-metre high-speed link designed for short-range interconnections in data centres and high-performance computing environments. It provides SFP+ to SFP+ connectivity and supports low-latency, high-bandwidth data transmission suitable for 10 Gbit/s environments. Constructed to meet industry mechanical and electrical characteristics for SFP+ interconnects, the cable is intended for reliable point-to-point links between switches, servers, storage arrays and other network equipment that accept SFP+ modules.

Advantages

The cable offers a fixed 5 m length that simplifies rack planning and cable management while reducing insertion loss compared with longer runs. Its SFP+ male-to-male configuration ensures straightforward compatibility with SFP+ ports and common InfiniBand or Ethernet topologies. Designed and manufactured following MSA-compatible dimensions and with attention to component quality, the cable delivers consistent signal integrity, low latency and an expected long service life when used within the supported operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches and servers within racks
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand or 10G Ethernet links
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects and server-to-switch uplinks
• Short-distance data centre cabling where passive SFP+ interconnects are supported

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable length: 5 metres
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbit/s per channel (suitable for 10G Ethernet, FCoE and InfiniBand at specified distances)
• Cable type: passive direct attach-style interconnect designed for short-range links
• Construction: twinax-style conductors and shielding suitable for low-latency copper or fibre equivalent applications depending on model use

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch secures. Ensure both ends seat fully and that the connected devices support passive SFP+ direct-attach interconnects or the stated protocol (10GBase-CR/InfiniBand) for correct operation. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain separation from high-power cables where possible. Verify link status on devices after connecting to confirm successful negotiation at the expected data rate.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m SFP+ cable for short, direct links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ passive direct attach or the InfiniBand/10G protocol before deployment, and avoid repeated hot-plug cycles to prolong connector life.
