BlueOptics S+AO0030-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 30 m SFP+ stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics S+AO0030-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 30 m SFP+ Male/Male is a 30-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for up to 10 Gbps multimode optical transmission. It implements an SFP+ to SFP+ interface according to MSA guidelines and integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to transport optical signals for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications. The cable is intended for use in data centres and networking environments where a pre-assembled fibre connection with low attenuation, immunity to EMI and simplified installation is required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics S+AO0030-BO provides a plug-and-play fibre solution that eliminates the need for separate patch cords and manual fibre terminations, reducing installation time and contamination risk. As an active optical cable with SFP+ endpoints it supports simultaneous send/receive optical transmission and can provide digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) when supported by host hardware. The product is manufactured according to MSA specifications and is intended for interoperability with standard SFP+ ports, offering a long expected operating lifetime and compatibility with common networking hardware that accepts SFP+ AOCs.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics S+AO0030-BO by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring proper seating until the connector latch engages. Verify that the host devices support active optical cables and, if you require digital diagnostics, ensure DDM/DOM is supported and enabled in the connected hardware. No additional patching or fibre cleaning is required for the pre-terminated AOC; standard procedures for handling optical connectors and ESD precautions should be observed during installation. After insertion, confirm link status in the device interface and validate expected data rates and error counters.

Recommendations

Use the cable in clean rack environments and route it to avoid tight bends; respect the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for multimode AOCs. For diagnostic access to DDM/DOM parameters (voltage, laser bias, transmit/receive power and temperature), confirm host compatibility. When replacing older or vendor-locked optics, test interoperability in a non-critical link first and consider requesting a sample for validation in your specific hardware and software environment.
