BlueOptics XDL-TWX0201-BL InfiniBand optický kabel 2 m SFP+

The BlueOptics XDL-TWX0201-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP+ is a 2-metre interconnect cable with SFP+ interfaces on both ends. Designed for short-reach, high-speed environments, the cable supports InfiniBand and compatible 10G data transmissions between SFP+ ports. It is intended for rack and adjacent-rack connections in data centre and network equipment that accept SFP+ direct attach solutions.

Advantages

This 2 m SFP+ cable offers a compact, low-latency connection for server, switch and storage interlinks. Its design provides reliable signal transfer for InfiniBand and 10G applications over short distances, with passive construction that minimises power consumption and potential points of failure. The cable is manufactured to meet industry MSA-derived electrical and mechanical characteristics for predictable interoperability with SFP+ ports.

Suitable for

• High-speed links between switches and top-of-rack servers
• Storage area network connections and clustered storage nodes
• Short-distance InfiniBand or Ethernet 10G interconnects within racks
• Lab and test environments requiring consistent SFP+ connectivity

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Supported link types: InfiniBand and 10G Ethernet protocols
• Cable type: direct attach passive twinax style for short-reach electrical transmission
• Typical use range: rack-to-rack or within-rack short distances

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-swap guidelines from the equipment vendor when connecting live ports. Verify link status through device management interfaces and confirm negotiated link speed and protocol (InfiniBand or 10G Ethernet) after insertion.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable following rack cable management best practices to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain. Use this 2 m SFP+ cable for short-distance electrical interconnects; for longer distances or optical requirements, select appropriate fibre or active solutions. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ passive direct attach cabling in the hardware documentation before deployment.
