BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 1m Male/Male

The BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 1m Male/Male is a 1 metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed short-range links, this multi-mode fibre cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules in the SFP+ housings to support reliable optical data transfer up to 10 Gbps over a one metre span. The cable follows common SFP+ MSA form-factor conventions and is intended for use in networking hardware that accepts SFP+ active optical connections.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, pre-terminated AOC solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing connector loss and simplifying rack cabling. Integrated optical transceivers in each SFP+ plug deliver consistent signal quality for short-range 10G connections while keeping weight and power consumption low compared with equivalent electrical copper assemblies. Its one-metre length is suitable for inter-rack or intra-rack connections where short, reliable links are required.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10G links between switches or servers within a rack
• Connections between storage arrays and host bus adapters supporting SFP+
• High-speed InfiniBand or Ethernet interconnects in data center topologies
• Deployments requiring low-latency, low-power short multimode optical links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+ (male/male)
• Length: 1 metre
• Media: active optical cable (multi-mode fibre with integrated transceivers)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Typical applications: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET and InfiniBand short-range links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices, ensuring the ejector latch engages. Verify that connected devices support active SFP+ optical modules and the intended 10G protocol. After seating the connectors, check link status on the devices and confirm that the port is negotiated at the expected speed. For hot-plug operations, follow your equipment manufacturer's guidance to avoid momentary link disruptions on other ports.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short, direct optical connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid excessive bending near the SFP+ housings and maintain a gentle bend radius consistent with multimode fibre practices. Ensure firmware and transceiver compatibility with your hardware vendor if device-level compatibility checks are required.
