BlueOptics 00YL637-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP+ Male Male

The BlueOptics 00YL637-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3 m active optical cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed short-reach links. It implements 10GBASE-SR optical transmission over multimode fiber and includes integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each connector to enable direct SFP+ to SFP+ connections. The cable follows MSA-compliant specifications and is intended for use in switches, routers, storage systems and other networking hardware that support SFP+ 10 Gbit/s optics.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides 10 Gbit/s data transfer over a pre-terminated multimode fiber assembly, reducing installation steps such as patching and connector cleaning. Built to industry MSA standards, it carries integrated optical transceivers and supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for remote measurement of supply voltage, laser bias current, output power, input power and temperature. The preassembled design minimizes electromagnetic interference and attenuation associated with copper cabling and patch-cord assemblies, and the use of high-quality optical components contributes to long operational lifetime and stable performance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s short-reach links between SFP+ ports in switches and routers
• Interconnects in storage systems and SAN environments using SFP+ optics
• Server-to-switch connections in data centers and rack deployments
• High-density cabling scenarios where a compact SFP+ to SFP+ AOC is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ to SFP+ connectors
• Length: 3 meters
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-SR)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (pre-assembled)
• Connector gender: SFP+ male on both ends
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (MSA SFF-8472 compliant)
• Suitable for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET at supported rates

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 3 m SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support 10G SFP+ modules and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in device firmware to access diagnostic data. No field termination, polishing or patch-cord cleaning is needed because the cable is factory-terminated. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and monitor diagnostics for optical power and temperature readings during operation.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-range optical links within a single equipment rack or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor’s supported transceivers and firmware to ensure full functionality of DDM/DOM features.
