BlueOptics 00D9676-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ QSFP Orange

The BlueOptics 00D9676-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ QSFP Orange is a converter cable that connects SFP+ and QSFP interfaces for high-speed optical data transmission. Designed for data centre and enterprise networking use, the cable supports 10GBASE to 40GBASE conversion and fits hardware platforms that accept the original Lenovo 00D9676 converter. The distinct orange jacket makes identification simple in dense cabling environments, while a compact build and light weight simplify routing and installation.

Advantages

This BlueOptics cable follows MSA standards for SFP+ to QSFP connectivity and is manufactured with high-quality optical and electronic components to provide stable signal transmission and long service life. It supports simultaneous send and receive optical channels and is suitable for multimode and single-mode fibre where the corresponding transmission protocol and reach are applied. Components are preselected for reliability, enabling extended operating lifetimes and consistent performance in switch, router and storage environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports to QSFP ports in switches and routers
• 10G to 40G optical link aggregation and uplinks
• Data centre patching between transceivers and converters
• High-bandwidth applications such as Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET

Key specifications

• Connector types: SFP+ (male) to QSFP (male)
• Supported protocols: 10GBASE to 40GBASE optical links
• Cable colour: Orange for easy identification
• Weight: approximately 0.11 kg
• Optical media: compatible with multi-mode and single-mode fibre depending on system requirements
• Compliance: MSA-aligned form factor and interoperability with equipment that supports the equivalent converter

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 00D9676-BO by inserting the SFP+ end into the SFP+ port and the QSFP end into the QSFP port on the target devices, ensuring both devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidance from the hardware vendor. Use an appropriate fibre patch cord or patch panel as required to complete the optical link and verify that the connected devices are configured for the intended 10G or 40G protocol. If the host hardware supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or monitor the diagnostics to confirm link health and optical parameters.

Recommendations

Use this cable in conjunction with compatible BlueOptics fibre patch cords and adhere to the supported reach and fibre type for your network design. Verify DDM/DOM support on host hardware to benefit from real-time diagnostic data. Route and secure the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain to preserve optical performance and service life.
