BlueOptics 00YL646-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m SFP+ Male Male

The BlueOptics 00YL646-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15 m active optical cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking environments. It implements 10GBASE-SR class multimode optical transmission with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each connector, supporting simultaneous send and receive over a pre-assembled multimode fibre link. The cable is built to MSA-compatible SFP+ form-factor standards and is intended as a functional equivalent for hardware platforms that support SFP+ active optical connections.

Advantages

The cable offers low-latency, high-throughput optical connectivity that is immune to electromagnetic interference, reducing packet loss and signal degradation over the 15 m span. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature. Components are selected to industry standards to provide extended operational lifetime and high MTBF for continuous availability in professional network environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage arrays
• Low-latency cluster and HPC InfiniBand-style links using SFP+ ports
• Environments requiring EMI-resistant optical links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors on both ends
• Length: 15 meters
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-SR class applications)
• Fibre type: multimode fibre with integrated Tx/Rx laser modules
• Form factor: SFP+ MSA-compatible
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472
• Typical applications: Ethernet, Fiber Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET up to 10 Gbit/s

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 00YL646-BO by plugging the SFP+ connectors into the SFP+ ports of the devices to be interconnected, ensuring the connectors latch fully. Use the 15 m AOC to connect SFP+ ports on switches, routers, servers or storage systems that support SFP+ active optical modules. Confirm that the host devices support SFP+ AOCs and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM access in the management interface to monitor diagnostics parameters. No additional transceivers or fibre patching is required because the cable is factory-assembled and tested.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre, secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors, and verify device compatibility for SFP+ AOCs and DDM/DOM functionality before deployment. For critical links, consider testing a sample AOC in your specific hardware configuration to confirm full interoperability and diagnostic visibility.
