BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 30 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 30 m Male/Male is a 30-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors designed for high-speed short-range links. The cable uses multimode fibre with integrated transmitter and receiver assemblies at each end to support 10 Gbps data rates over a 30 m channel, and it conforms to SFP+ mechanical and electrical interface expectations for direct SFP+ to SFP+ connections. The male/male SFP+ terminations provide a compact, low-latency connection suitable for rack-to-rack, switch-to-switch and server-to-switch links in data center and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC delivers consistent 10G performance over a 30 m multimode link with reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Integrated optical transceivers at both ends remove the need for separate SFP+ modules, simplifying installation and reducing component count. The SFP+ form factor and industry-standard pinout ensure broad compatibility with equipment that supports SFP+ AOCs, while the fixed-length, factory-terminated construction provides predictable optical characteristics and low insertion loss.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, servers and storage within the same data hall
• InfiniBand or high-performance computing interconnects requiring short-range optical links
• Structured cabling where a fixed 30 m multimode optical link is required
• Environments where low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference are important

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 30 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable with multimode fibre
• Rated data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Form factor: SFP+ AOC (integrated transceivers)
• Typical applications: 10G Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, InfiniBand short-reach links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-30M-BO by inserting each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on your devices until the retention latch engages. Ensure connected equipment is powered down or that hot-swap procedures recommended by the device manufacturer are followed. Verify that both ends are seated correctly and check link status indicators on connected devices; most systems will auto-negotiate the 10G link. Avoid tight bends and do not apply excessive tensile force to the cable; secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this AOC in compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers or storage devices that support active optical cables and 10G SFP+ interfaces. Keep the cable routing free from sharp bends and strong mechanical stress, and follow your equipment vendor's compatibility list if available to ensure full feature support.
