CBO InfiniBand-kabel BO353503J7M-BO 7m SFP+ Active Optical Cable

CBO InfiniBand Cable BO353503J7M-BO 7m SFP+ Active Optical Cable is a factory-terminated SFP+ active optical cable (AOC) intended for high-speed interconnects between servers, switches and storage systems. At 7 meters length, this BlueOptics AOC offers an optical link alternative to copper SFP+ cables, delivering electrical isolation and lower electromagnetic interference while maintaining the low-latency performance required in data centers and HPC environments. The cable implements SFP+ form-factor transceivers on both ends and is suitable for short- to mid-range optical connections within racks and across adjacent rack aisles.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces signal attenuation over the 7 m distance compared with passive copper assemblies, while providing electrical isolation that can help prevent ground loop issues. Using optical fiber lowers susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and supports stable, low-latency data transmission for InfiniBand and SFP+ Ethernet applications. The cable’s factory-terminated SFP+ modules simplify installation by eliminating separate transceiver purchases and fiber termination steps.

How to use

Install the CBO InfiniBand 7m SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your servers, switches or storage devices until the module latches. No separate transceivers or fiber termination work is required. Ensure devices are powered and that port settings (speed and mode) are configured to accept SFP+ optical links. For link troubleshooting, verify port status indicators on connected equipment and consult device logs for SFP+ module recognition and link training details.

Recommendations

Use the cable in controlled data center environments and avoid sharp bends or excessive tensile load on the cable to maintain optical performance. Verify compatibility with host equipment firmware and interface standards when deploying in mixed-vendor environments, and confirm supported data rates and InfiniBand profile settings before large-scale installation.
