BlueOptics 10GB-F15-SFPP-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 10GB-F15-SFPP-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for 10GBASE-SR applications over multimode fiber. It integrates transmitter and receiver modules in the plugs and follows SFP+ MSA standards to ensure electrical, mechanical and functional interoperability with compatible network equipment. The cable supports high-speed Ethernet and related protocols while providing immunity to electromagnetic interference and a pre-assembled, plug-and-play fiber connection.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP+ to SFP+ AOC offers low-latency 10 Gbps data transmission with integrated optical transceivers at each end, reducing the need for separate transceiver modules and fiber patching. Manufactured according to MSA specifications and using high-quality components, the cable supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output and received power, and temperature. The pre-terminated construction eliminates connector cleaning and patch loss, simplifies installation, and contributes to long operating life and high availability in data center environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports on switches, routers and storage systems in data centers
• 10G Ethernet links (10GBASE-SR) over multimode fiber
• High-performance computing interconnects and server-to-switch connections
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and other low-latency storage network links

Key specifications

• Length: 15 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ (male) to SFP+ (male)
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps (10GBASE-SR)
• Media: multimode fiber (active optical cable with integrated transceivers)
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472
• Compliance: SFP+ MSA mechanical and electrical compatibility; CE and RoHS conformity

How to use

Insert each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until it latches securely. Ensure that the devices support SFP+ AOC modules and the 10GBASE-SR protocol. After insertion, verify link status and network configuration on both devices. Use the host equipment management interface to read DDM/DOM parameters if supported for monitoring and diagnostics. No fiber patching or connector cleaning is required due to the pre-assembled design.

Recommendations

Place the cable in a routing path with minimal tight bends and avoid mechanical strain on the SFP+ connectors. Confirm hardware compatibility with the host devices before deployment and, if possible, test a sample in your infrastructure to validate link performance and DDM/DOM reporting. Keep spare AOCs for critical links to reduce downtime during maintenance.
