BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-2M-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel SFP+ 2m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-2M-BO is a 2-meter InfiniBand/fibre optic Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed links between compatible network equipment. Built to MSA SFP+ form-factor standards, this cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver components at each end and uses multimode fiber to support short-reach 10 Gbps data transmission over a 2 m span. It is intended for direct connections between switches, routers, host adapters and storage systems that accept SFP+ AOCs.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, low-power alternative to separate transceiver and fiber patchcord assemblies by combining optical transceivers and fiber in a single plug-and-play unit. Using multimode optics and SFP+ interfaces, it enables consistent 10 Gigabit connectivity with reduced cable bulk and simplified installation. Compliance with common SFP+ mechanical and electrical specifications ensures broad interoperability with equipment platforms that support compatible AOC modules.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbps connections between switches and routers
• Direct links to storage systems and host bus adapters
• High-density racks where reduced cable diameter and thermal load are required
• Data center top-of-rack and aggregation layer connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 2 meters
• Optical type: multimode fiber, active optical cable (AOC)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 Gbps per link
• Form factor: SFP+ MSA compatible

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-2M-BO by inserting each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the connector latches engage. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required. After physical connection, verify link status and speed through the device management interface or LEDs. If a device blocks third-party AOCs, consult the device documentation for compatibility or vendor settings that permit use of compatible AOC modules.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends and excessive strain on the cable, keep the connectors clean and protected when not in use, and route the cable to minimize mechanical stress and heat exposure. Verify that both endpoints support SFP+ AOC modules and the required protocols (Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SONET/SDH where applicable) before deployment.
