Netwerkkabel BlueOptics JL292A-BO SFP+ InfiniBand 20m rood

The BlueOptics JL292A-BO SFP+ InfiniBand 20m Red is a 20 meter active optical cable with SFP+ to SFP+ connectors designed for high-speed short-range links. It provides a factory-assembled multimode fiber connection with transmitters and receivers integrated at both ends, enabling reliable 10 Gbit/s class data transmission over a 20 m span. The cable's red outer jacket and compact SFP+ plug form factor make it suitable for structured cabling in data centers, server racks, and networking equipment that accept SFP+ interconnects.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC offers multi-gigabit performance with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, since optical media carry signals as light rather than electrical currents. The pre-terminated SFP+ to SFP+ assembly eliminates the need for field termination or patching and reduces insertion loss compared with multi-part fiber runs. The design follows common MSA SFP+ AOC interfaces for plug-and-play compatibility with hardware that supports SFP+ active optical cables. The 20 m length balances reach and manageability for short‑reach interconnects in racks and across nearby equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections between switches and servers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• High-performance InfiniBand or 10G Ethernet links in data centers and storage networks
• Interconnects for SAN, NAS or clustered compute nodes requiring low latency

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Media: active multimode optical cable (AOC)
• Nominal data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s class short‑reach applications
• Product colour: Red
• Lightweight construction: approx. 0.15 kg

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the connector latches. Use compatible SFP+ slots that support active optical cables and ensure the device firmware or software permits third‑party modules if applicable. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the recommended bend radius for multimode AOC assemblies. If your hardware supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or check those functions to monitor optical parameters such as transmit/receive power and temperature.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify device compatibility with SFP+ AOCs and confirm that link settings (speed, duplex, protocol) match on both ends. Avoid tight cable bundles or kinks, and secure the cable to prevent strain on the SFP+ connectors. Store and handle the cable by the connector bodies when plugging or unplugging to protect the fiber assembly.
