BlueOptics MCP2100-X04AB InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 5 m SFP+

The BlueOptics MCP2100-X04AB InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ is a duplex multimode link designed for high-speed server and switch interconnections. With SFP+ compatible male connectors on both ends, this 5-metre cable supports low-latency data transfer and stable signal integrity for short-range data centre and networking environments. The cable's construction follows standards for InfiniBand and SFP+ interfaces, making it suitable for connecting network equipment that requires reliable optical links.

Advantages

This 5 m fibre optic cable provides consistent high-bandwidth transmission with minimal signal degradation over short distances. The SFP+ male connectors ensure simple plug-and-play installation with compatible transceiver ports, while the duplex design supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The cable is lightweight and flexible, facilitating neat routing in rack-mounted or chassis-based systems. Its multimode fibre composition is optimized for typical data centre runs and intra-rack connections.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ or InfiniBand ports on switches and servers
• Short-range data centre and rack-to-rack links
• High-throughput storage area network (SAN) paths
• HPC clusters and low-latency computing environments

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends
• Interface: InfiniBand compatible duplex fibre
• Fibre type: multimode duplex
• Usage: short-range high-speed optical link

How to use

Ensure both endpoints are powered down or that hot-plugging is supported by your equipment. Align the SFP+ male connectors with the SFP+ transceiver ports and insert until the connector latches. Verify the link status through your switch or server management interface. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by your infrastructure to preserve optical performance. If necessary, replace or re-seat the cable while the system supports hot-swap to minimize downtime.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep the cable length appropriate for multimode short-range links and avoid excessive bending or tension. Use in environments with compatible SFP+ or InfiniBand transceivers and confirm supported link speeds and protocols on connected devices. Clean connector endfaces before installation if contamination is suspected, and store unused cables coiled without tight loops to prevent microbending losses.
