BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 10m Male/Male

The BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 10m Male/Male is a 10-meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors designed for high-speed short-reach connections. It uses multimode fibre and integrated optical transceivers on each end to provide a reliable 10 Gbit/s link over a 10 m distance, compatible with SFP+ MSA form-factor ports. This cable is intended for use in data centre and enterprise networking environments where low-latency, high-bandwidth InfiniBand or Ethernet connections are required.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized SFP+ to SFP+ connection that supports 10GBASE-SR and similar 10 Gbit/s short-range protocols, offering electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference. As an active optical cable with built-in transmitter and receiver modules it reduces signal loss over the 10 m span compared with copper alternatives and helps maintain consistent throughput for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch or storage connections. Its male-to-male SFP+ termination ensures plug-and-play compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP+ modules.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch uplinks inside racks and across short data centre aisles
• Switch-to-switch aggregation for 10 Gbps links
• High-speed storage networking and SAN connections
• InfiniBand and Ethernet short-reach connectivity where SFP+ ports are available

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Type: Active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Length: 10 meters
• Transmission medium: Multimode fibre
• Supported data rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
• Form factor compatibility: SFP+ MSA compliant

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support 10 Gbit/s SFP+ optical links and that ports are enabled in device firmware or configuration. No additional transceiver modules are required beyond the integrated AOC ends. Verify link status and speed in the switch or host interface management to confirm a stable 10 Gbit/s connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by multimode fibre best practices. Use this AOC in indoor data centre environments and within the 10 m range for reliable 10 Gbit/s connectivity. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ MSA modules and firmware that accepts third-party AOCs before deployment.
