BlueOptics 00YL640-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 00YL640-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 5 m active optical cable with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission. It implements 10GBASE-SR-compatible optical transceivers on both ends and uses multimode fiber to send and receive optical signals simultaneously. The pre-assembled SFP+ to SFP+ connection conforms to MSA standards and is suitable for direct connection between switches, routers, storage systems and other SFP+-equipped network devices that support 10 Gbit/s optics.

Advantages

This 5 m BlueOptics AOC offers high bandwidth and low latency for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and similar high-speed protocols. The integrated optical transmitter and receiver on each connector eliminate the need for separate transceivers and patching, reducing insertion loss and maintenance. Components are selected to meet MSA compatibility and provide extended operational lifetime and stable performance in data-center environments. Digital diagnostics support enables remote monitoring of key optical parameters when host hardware supports DDM/DOM.

Suitable for

• Direct SFP+ to SFP+ connections between switches and routers
• High-speed links for storage systems and SANs
• Data-center top-of-rack and server interconnects
• Short-reach multimode fiber optical links up to 5 meters

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s per link (10GBASE-SR applications)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber used for optical transmission
• Protocol support: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET applications up to 10G
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring / Digital Optical Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472 (host support required)

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ slot on the two devices to be connected, ensuring secure latching. Verify that the host devices support 10G SFP+ optics and, if required, enable or confirm DDM/DOM support in the device management interface to access diagnostic information. No separate transceivers or fiber patching is necessary; the AOC is pre-assembled and ready for immediate use once properly seated in both ports.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics AOC for short-reach multimode connections inside racks or between adjacent racks in data centers. Avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer bend-radius guidelines and keep connector endfaces protected when not in use. Confirm compatibility with your SFP+ host hardware and firmware to ensure full functionality of diagnostics and link negotiation.
