Netwerkkabel BlueOptics JL290A-BO SFP+ InfiniBand 7m rood

The BlueOptics JL290A-BO SFP+ InfiniBand 7m Red is a 7-meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors at both ends, designed for 10G data transmission over multimode fiber. It implements SFP+ MSA standards and integrates transmitter and receiver modules to support protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet at up to 10 Gbit/s on a 7 m link. The red jacket provides clear visual identification while the assembled AOC removes the need for separate patch cords and connector cleaning.

Advantages

This AOC offers low signal attenuation and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, supporting stable 10GBASE-SR links in data center and networking environments. Built to MSA SFP+ specifications, the cable is compatible with hardware that supports the original JL290A AOC form factor and electrical/optical interfaces. Integrated digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) provides real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature for remote troubleshooting and monitoring. Durable components and industrial manufacturing standards contribute to long operational life and consistent performance.

Suitable for

• 10G Ethernet connections between switches and servers
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet links in storage networks
• High-density patching in data center racks and aggregation cabinets
• Low-latency connections in clustered computing and InfiniBand-compatible setups

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7 m
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Transmission type: Active optical cable (AOC) for multimode fiber
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s per link
• Color: Red jacket for visual identification
• Weight: approximately 0.23 kg
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM): supported (MSA SFF-8472 compliant)

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port of network devices until it latches securely. Ensure both ends are seated in compatible SFP+ ports that support 10GBASE-SR or equivalent AOC modules. Verify link status LEDs on connected devices and, if available, read DDM/DOM parameters via device management interfaces to confirm optical power and temperature metrics. No separate fiber patch cords or transceivers are required because the cable is pre-assembled and optimized for plug-and-play operation.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use cable management to prevent strain on connectors and keep the red jacket visible for easy identification. Confirm hardware compatibility, especially DDM/DOM support if remote diagnostics are needed, and perform an initial link test after installation to verify expected throughput and diagnostic readings.
