InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics MCP2101-X01AA-BL 2 m SFP+

The BlueOptics MCP2101-X01AA-BL is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this cable connects SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage devices, supporting short-range links in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The BlueOptics product combines optical transmission characteristics with a standard SFP+ form factor to provide a compact, interoperable connection option for modern network infrastructures.

Advantages

This SFP+ fibre cable provides low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity suitable for 10 Gbps-class links. With a 2 m length it offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or in-rack connections while maintaining signal integrity. The cable uses standard SFP+ interfaces for plug-and-play compatibility with equipment that supports SFP+ optical transceivers and modules, reducing installation complexity and enabling reliable data transfer in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches and servers in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand or optical links
• Storage networks and SAN connections with SFP+ support
• Short-range optical links within racks or adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Length: 2 metres
• Supported link class: 10 Gbps-class optical/SFP+ links
• Typical applications: Ethernet, InfiniBand and storage networking over SFP+ ports
• Form factor: SFP+ compliant optical cable assembly

How to use

Install by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on the network devices until the module latches. Ensure both devices are powered off or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Verify link status through device interface LEDs or management software and confirm supported link speed and protocol settings. Handle the fibre cable by its connectors and avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics SFP+ fibre cable in rack and data centre environments where short optical links are required. Check device compatibility with SFP+ optical modules and monitor link negotiation after installation. Avoid routing the cable near sources of mechanical stress or extreme temperatures, and perform periodic visual inspections to ensure connector endfaces remain clean and undamaged.
