BlueOptics S+AO0007-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 7 m SFP+ stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics S+AO0007-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 7 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed connections in data centres and network racks. It supports 10GBASE-SR transmission over multimode fiber and integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end to convert electrical SFP+ signals to optical signals and back, complying with SFP+ MSA interface standards. The cable is intended for use with equipment that accepts SFP+ AOC modules and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or compatible high-speed protocols over a 7 m link.

Advantages

This 7 m SFP+ AOC delivers 10 Gbps data transfer rates with immunity to electromagnetic interference and reduced signal attenuation compared with copper cabling for similar distances. The product is built to MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications to ensure interoperability with SFP+ ports, and incorporates tested optical transceivers and control ICs for reliable operation. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) is supported where host hardware exposes the feature, enabling remote readout of parameters such as supply voltage, temperature, laser bias current and optical power for maintenance and troubleshooting. The pre-assembled design eliminates patching and polishing steps, simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure.

Key specifications

How to use

Power down or follow hot-plug guidance for your network devices according to vendor instructions, then insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it latches. Verify link lights and host interface status to confirm negotiations at 10 Gbps or the supported protocol. If the host platform exposes DDM/DOM, use management tools to read real-time diagnostics such as optical power and temperature. For removal, disengage the latch mechanism and pull the connector straight out to avoid stressing the cable ends.

Recommendations

Install the cable following the device manufacturer's hot-plug guidelines and avoid tight bends or kinks; maintain bend radius recommended for multimode AOCs. Ensure connected hardware officially supports SFP+ AOC modules and, where required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the host for diagnostic access. For critical links, verify link stability and diagnostic readings after installation and perform routine checks as part of maintenance procedures.
