Cable InfiniBand/fibra óptica BlueOptics 537963-B21 5 m SFP+ conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics 537963-B21 is a 5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission and stable connectivity in networking environments. This cable supports short to medium reach connections between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices, providing low-latency performance suitable for data center and enterprise applications.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers a compact SFP+ interface on each end for direct plug-in compatibility with standard SFP+ ports. The optical design ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference and maintains signal integrity over the full 5 m length. Its construction focuses on reliable transmission, consistent throughput and minimal insertion loss, enabling predictable network behaviour in high-bandwidth scenarios.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between SFP+ ports on network switches and routers
• Connections between servers and storage arrays requiring low-latency links
• Short- to medium-range links within racks or between adjacent racks in data centers
• High-bandwidth applications such as virtualization, database replication and cluster computing

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 5 metres
• Cable type: fibre optic compatible with InfiniBand and SFP+ interfaces
• Performance: designed for high-speed data transmission with low insertion loss
• Environmental characteristics: immune to electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission

How to use

Inspect the SFP+ ports on both devices to ensure they are clean and compatible with fibre optic SFP+ modules. Align the SFP+ connector keying and insert each end into the corresponding SFP+ port until it clicks or seats firmly. Verify link status on connected equipment to confirm an active optical connection. When removing the cable, depress any retention mechanism before pulling the connector straight out to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bend radius for fibre optic cabling. Keep connectors capped when not in use and perform periodic inspections to ensure connector endfaces remain free of dust and contamination. Match the cable to SFP+ transceivers and port specifications to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
