BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m SFP+ Male

The BlueOptics AC-SFP+-VKMM-7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m SFP+ Male is a 7‑metre active multimode optical cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends. It supports 10G optical transmission over multimode fibre and is built to the SFP+ form factor and MSA electrical/optical interfaces. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules in each connector housing to deliver high-speed links between SFP+ ports in networking and storage equipment where a short-range optical connection is required.

Advantages

This SFP+ active optical cable provides a lightweight, low-latency optical interconnect that reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its 7 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and within-rack connections while keeping signal integrity for 10G links. Compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and MSA-compliant transceiver interfaces simplifies installation and replacement in supported network switches, routers and storage systems.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10G interconnects between switches and servers
• Data centre rack-to-rack optical cabling
• Storage area network links and SAN uplinks
• High-performance computing nodes requiring SFP+ optical connections

Key specifications

• Length: 7 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends (MSA-compliant)
• Optical type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fibre
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Application: short-range 10GBASE-SR and compatible optical protocols including Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet

How to use

Ensure both devices have SFP+ ports that support active optical cables and are compatible with the cable's optical specifications. Power down devices if recommended by the hardware vendor, insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it latches, then power up and verify link status via device LEDs or management interface. Configure network settings or zoning as required by your environment. For best results, avoid tight bends in the cable and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-range 10G links inside racks and between adjacent racks in data centres. Confirm device compatibility with the vendor’s hardware compatibility list and consider testing one cable in your setup before large-scale deployment. Store and handle the cable to avoid excessive bending and contamination of connector endfaces.
