InfiniBand-/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics BO353503J20M-BO 20 m SFP+ stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics BO353503J20M-BO is a 20 m InfiniBand/fibre optic Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed 10G links in data centers and networking environments. It supports 10GBASE-SR transmission over multimode fiber and provides a pre-assembled optical connection that reduces installation complexity and attenuation compared with patchcord assemblies. The cable includes transceiver electronics at both ends and follows MSA-compliant SFP+ form-factor specifications for broad interoperability.

Advantages

The 20 m AOC delivers low-latency 10 Gbps data transfer while being immune to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for dense rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch interconnects. Built with quality optical transmitters and receivers, it offers consistent signal integrity and supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output power, received power and temperature. As a pre-terminated solution, it eliminates the need for field polishing or patchcord cleaning and reduces points of failure in fibre links.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on network switches, routers, storage systems or host adapters. Ensure devices support SFP+ modules and that ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the hardware vendor. Verify link status and DDM/DOM data through the host system management interface to confirm proper operation and to view diagnostic parameters.

Recommendations

Ensure both connected devices officially support SFP+ AOCs and that their firmware or driver settings allow third-party AOC modules. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius for multimode AOCs and secure the cable to avoid stress at connector interfaces. If DDM/DOM monitoring is required, confirm the host supports SFF-8472 to access real-time diagnostic values.
