BlueOptics 00YL649-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 00YL649-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 20 m SFP+ male-to-male active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed short-range connections. It conforms to industry MSA SFP+ form-factor standards and supports 10GBASE-SR class transmission over multimode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end. The cable is intended for direct SFP+ to SFP+ links between switches, routers, storage arrays and other network devices that accept SFP+ AOC modules.

Advantages

The AOC design provides low-latency optical transmission without susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Integrated digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) enables real-time reporting of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature for easier troubleshooting and monitoring. Built to MSA standards with high-quality optical and electronic components, the cable supports sustained 10 Gbit/s throughput over the full 20 m length and is suitable for long-term deployment in data center and enterprise environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbit/s links between SFP+ ports on switches and routers
• Direct server-to-switch or storage-to-switch connections in racks and rows
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and other low-latency storage networking
• InfiniBand-style high-speed links where SFP+ AOCs are supported

Key specifications

• Length: 20 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (active optical cable)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-SR)
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber with integrated transceivers
• Digital diagnostic monitoring: DDM/DOM compliant with MSA SFF-8472
• Typical applications: Ethernet, FCoE, SDH/SONET compatible high-speed links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 20 m SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the retention latch engages. Confirm link negotiation and 10 Gbit/s operation via device interface or management software. If the host hardware supports DDM/DOM, monitor the cable’s diagnostic parameters through the device’s interface to verify transmit and receive power, temperature and voltage. No additional patch cords or transceivers are required when using this pre-assembled optical cable.

Recommendations

Avoid tight bends and compressing the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Verify that your hardware officially supports SFP+ AOCs and that DDM/DOM is enabled if you require diagnostic monitoring. For clean and reliable connections, keep SFP+ ports dust-free and avoid exposing fiber ends to dust or dirt during installation.
