InfiniBand-/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics 487657-001 3 m SFP+ stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics 487657-001 is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable terminated with SFP+ male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed networking environments, this cable combines fibre optic signal transmission with SFP+ form-factor compatibility to support low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage devices. Its blue jacket provides visual identification in cabling runs while the 3 m length balances reach and cable management in racks and data centre layouts.

Advantages

This SFP+ male-to-male fibre optic cable offers consistent signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The 3 m length simplifies connectivity across short to medium distances without excess slack. SFP+ connector compatibility ensures straightforward installation into standard SFP+ ports on networking equipment. The cable's construction supports stable high-speed data transmission suitable for InfiniBand and other low-latency fabrics.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches and routers in data centres
• Linking servers and storage arrays requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth connections
• Short to medium reach fibre optic runs within rack enclosures
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand interconnects

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 3 m
• Cable type: Fibre optic (single-mode or multimode compatibility depends on device transceivers)
• Colour: Blue jacket for easy identification
• Designed use: High-speed, low-latency data transmission for InfiniBand and SFP+ networks

How to use

Ensure that both devices support SFP+ ports and compatible optical transceivers before connecting. Insert each SFP+ male connector firmly into the corresponding SFP+ port until it clicks or seats according to the equipment manufacturer's guidance. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, keeping minimum bend radius and ensuring proper cable management within racks. Verify link status via device indicators or management interfaces and test throughput after installation to confirm expected performance.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics 3 m SFP+ cable for short to medium fibre links where low latency and high throughput are required. Match fibre type and transceiver specifications on both ends to ensure compatibility, and avoid sharp bends or excessive tensile load during installation. Regularly inspect connector endfaces and clean as needed to maintain optimal optical performance.
