InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics DEM-CB100S-BL 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics DEM-CB100S-BL 1 m SFP+ Male/Male is a short-range InfiniBand/fibre optic cable designed for high-speed connections between SFP+ ports. This 1 metre cable provides low-latency data transmission suitable for dense rack environments, server interconnects and switches where compact, reliable cabling is required. The cable’s blue jacket makes it easy to identify and separate from other link types in cabling assemblies.

Advantages

This SFP+ male-to-male cable offers consistent signal quality and reduced bit error rates for high-throughput links. Its compact one-metre length minimizes excess slack in patching environments and helps maintain tidy cable management. The cable is compatible with standard SFP+ ports and supports the electrical and optical characteristics expected for InfiniBand and short-distance fibre links, providing a balance of performance and straightforward plug-and-play connectivity.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches using SFP+ ports
• Short-distance links inside data center racks
• High-throughput storage networks and cluster interconnects
• Environments requiring color-coded cable identification

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 1 metre
• Jacket colour: blue
• Designed for short-range, high-speed data transmission

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector firmly into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down if your equipment vendor recommends hot-swap precautions, otherwise verify link status LEDs after connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by your equipment or facility standards. After installation, check link negotiation and transfer rates through device interfaces or management software to confirm proper operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this 1 m SFP+ cable for direct interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; keep the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference and mechanical hazards. Match the cable length to your rack layout to reduce slack and improve airflow. Consult equipment vendor documentation for compatibility notes and supported transceiver specifications.
