BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC2M-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 2 m AOC SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m AOC SFP+ is an active optical cable designed for short-range, high-bandwidth links. With SFP+ connectors on both ends and a 2-metre length, this AOC offers low-latency, high-throughput connectivity suitable for data centres and high-performance computing clusters. The cable is intended for direct device-to-device connections where a compact, plug-and-play optical link is required instead of separate transceivers and patch cords.

Advantages

This 2 m active optical cable combines the compact form factor of SFP+ modules with integrated optical transceivers, eliminating the need for separate SFP+ transceivers and fibre patch leads. The integrated design reduces power consumption compared with some legacy solutions, provides consistent signal integrity for short-reach InfiniBand and Ethernet links, and simplifies installation through a single-cable, hot-pluggable connection.

Suitable for

• Direct interconnects between switches, servers and storage in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand links
• Short-reach 10 Gbps Ethernet or storage area network connections
• Environments requiring compact, low-latency optical links with simple deployment

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Length: 2 metres
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and 10 Gbps class links (SFP+ compatible)
• Usage range: short-reach interconnects within rack or between adjacent racks
• Form factor: hot-pluggable, integrated transceiver modules

How to use

Inspect the SFP+ ports for compatibility and power down devices if required by your equipment vendor before insertion. Align each SFP+ connector with the host port and insert until the latch engages; the cable is hot-pluggable on most modern systems so live insertion is typically supported. Verify link lights and host interface status after connection, and configure network or InfiniBand settings on connected devices as needed to enable traffic. For removal, depress the latch and extract the connector carefully to avoid damage to the module or port.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable within its intended 2 m length and in clean rack environments. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling forces on the cable; follow equipment vendor guidance for hot-plug operations and verify firmware or driver compatibility for SFP+ modules in heterogeneous multi-vendor installations.
