BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 50m Male/Male

The BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 50 meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ to SFP+ male connectors. Designed for short-range multimode links, it provides a standardized 10GBASE-SR compatible connection that integrates a transmitter and receiver in each SFP+ module to carry optical signals between SFP+ ports. The cable is intended for high-speed networking applications in data centers and high-performance computing environments where a plug-and-play SFP+ AOC is required.

Advantages

This 50 m SFP+ AOC supports up to 10 Gbit/s per link and follows MSA-compatible SFP+ form-factor conventions, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with SFP+ ports that accept compatible AOC modules. The multimode fibre construction and integrated transceivers reduce the need for separate transceiver modules and fibre patching, lowering installation complexity and improving signal integrity over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and routers within data centers
• Connections between servers and storage arrays in HPC installations
• Short-range 10 Gbit/s InfiniBand or Ethernet links within racks or between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Length: 50 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (active optical cable)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Optical type: multimode fibre with integrated transmitters and receivers
• Compatible link standard: 10GBASE-SR / InfiniBand short-range applications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ male connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it seats securely. Ensure both connected devices support SFP+ AOC modules and the required 10 Gbit/s link configuration. No separate transceivers or external fibre patching are required. Verify link status on connected devices and, if needed, configure port settings (speed, duplex or protocol-specific parameters) in the device management interface.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-range links up to 50 m in controlled data center environments. Avoid tight bends and mechanical strain on the cable; maintain recommended bend radius for multimode fibre and keep connectors clean to preserve signal quality. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor’s SFP+ AOC support list before deployment.
