BlueOptics 00YL643-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 00YL643-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7 m SFP+ Male/Male is a 7‑meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ to SFP+ connections designed for high‑speed short‑reach networking. The cable integrates a transmitter and receiver on each end to carry optical signals over multi‑mode fiber and supports data rates up to 10 Gbps suitable for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and SDH/SONET applications. It follows MSA SFP+ specifications and is compatible with systems that accept SFP+ AOCs for reliable interconnection between switches, routers, storage systems and servers.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 7 m AOC provides electromagnetic immunity, low latency and consistent signal quality thanks to optical transmission. As an active optical cable with SFP+ connectors it eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing insertion loss. The built‑in digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) allows real‑time reporting of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, received input power and temperature for easier troubleshooting and maintenance. Components are selected to meet MSA standards and to provide extended operational lifetime and high availability.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports in data center switches and routers
• High‑speed links between servers and storage arrays
• Short‑reach 10G Ethernet and FCoE links within wiring closets or rack rows
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (active optical cable)
• Length: 7 meters
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Fiber type: multi‑mode optical fiber (integrated in AOC)
• Supported protocols: 10GBASE‑SR Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET
• Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF‑8472
• Designed for short‑reach connections inside racks and between adjacent racks

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 00YL643‑BO by inserting each SFP+ connector into the device SFP+ slot until it clicks into place. Ensure both endpoints support SFP+ AOCs and, if you need diagnostic data, that the host hardware supports DDM/DOM. Route the 7 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical fibers. No separate transceivers or fiber patching is required because the cable is pre‑terminated and factory tested for optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify compatibility with your specific hardware platform and firmware. Avoid tight bends and excessive tension on the cable, keep connectors clean, and use the DDM/DOM readings for proactive monitoring of link health. Use this cable for short‑reach 10G links within racks or between adjacent racks where an SFP+ AOC is supported.
