InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics AP818A 1 m SFP+ male/male

The BlueOptics AP818A 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP+ Male/Male connectors provides a compact, direct connection solution for short-distance high-speed links. Designed for use in server rooms, data centres and network racks, this cable supports reliable data transmission between devices fitted with SFP+ ports. Its 1 metre length and durable jacket make it suitable for tidy, low-latency interconnections where space and cable management are important.

Advantages

The cable offers low signal loss and consistent transmission characteristics across the short length, enabling stable performance for high-bandwidth applications. The SFP+ male-to-male configuration ensures compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP+ transceivers and ports, and the fibre construction reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The compact form factor helps maintain organised cabling and simplifies rack-side connections.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between servers, switches and storage devices with SFP+ ports
• Short-distance links inside racks and between adjacent racks in data centres
• High-bandwidth environments requiring low-latency fibre connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic / InfiniBand compatible
• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends
• Length: 1 metre
• Colour: blue
• Designed for high-speed data transmission and low attenuation over short distances

How to use

Identify the SFP+ ports on the devices to be connected, ensure compatible transceivers or SFP+ port types are present, and insert the SFP+ connectors securely into the corresponding ports until they latch. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain bend radii recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Power on network devices and verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces to confirm successful connection.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics SFP+ cable for short, high-speed interconnects where fibre is preferred over copper to minimise interference. Avoid excessive bending, protect connector endfaces from dust and contamination, and store unused cables in protective covers to preserve connector integrity.
