BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-15M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m SFP+ Male

The BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-15M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m SFP+ Male is a 15-metre active optical cable with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed network interconnects. It implements multi-mode optical transmission with integrated transmitter and receiver modules at each end and is compatible with systems that support SFP+ 10GBASE-SR style AOCs. The cable is intended for reliable short-range links in rack, row and data centre environments where consistent 10 Gbit/s connectivity is required over a 15 m span.

Advantages

The cable offers plug-and-play SFP+ connectivity with integrated optical transceivers, enabling straightforward installation without separate transceiver modules. Multi-mode fibre transmission supports established 10G protocols including Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet, providing consistent throughput and low latency over the specified 15-metre distance. The assembled AOC form factor reduces clutter compared with separate transceivers and patch cables and is designed for compatibility with hardware platforms that accept SFP+ AOC modules.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbit/s links between switches, routers and servers in data centres
• High-speed uplinks and cross-connects in rack and row architectures
• Storage area network (SAN) links using Fibre Channel over Ethernet
• Environments requiring SFP+ to SFP+ direct optical connections over multi-mode fibre

Key specifications

• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends
• Transmission: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated Tx/Rx modules
• Media: Multi-mode fibre
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Applications: Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the SFP+ male connectors into compatible SFP+ ports on network devices until they latch. Ensure ports are powered off or follow hot‑swap guidelines from the device manufacturer if inserting while live. Verify link status and negotiate the appropriate 10G protocol on connected devices. For best results keep the cable routed to avoid tight bends and secure it within the rack or cable management path to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules and supported 10G protocols before deployment. Maintain bend radii within manufacturer guidelines for multi-mode fibre, avoid exposure to sharp edges, and inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness; use proper cleaning tools if required. For permanent installations in dense racks consider cable management to maintain airflow and reduce mechanical stress.
