BlueOptics AXC7615-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics AXC7615-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m SFP+ Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for 10G high-speed connections over multi-mode fiber. It implements 10GBASE-SR transmission and includes integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end to support simultaneous send and receive optical signals. The cable is suitable for installation in data centres and network racks where a pre-assembled optical link with SFP+ interfaces is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a factory-assembled optical link that removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing signal loss and the need for frequent connector cleaning. As an active optical cable designed to MSA SFP+ standards, it delivers 10 Gbit/s bandwidth over 15 m with immunity to electromagnetic interference and lower latency compared with copper alternatives. Built with components from established manufacturers for lasers and ICs, it supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias, output and received power, and temperature.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and servers within racks or across adjacent racks
• High-performance storage area network connections and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
• InfiniBand and other high-speed interconnects requiring SFP+ to SFP+ optical links
• Data centre environments where EMI immunity and long-term availability are required

Key specifications

• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (pre-terminated)
• Transmission standard: 10GBASE-SR (multi-mode fiber)
• Bandwidth: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: multi-mode optical fiber
• Supports simultaneous transmit and receive via integrated Tx/Rx modules
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real-time link parameters

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AXC7615-BO by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ slot on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure the connected devices support 10GBASE-SR and SFP+ AOC modules. If you require DDM/DOM telemetry, verify that the host hardware exposes these diagnostics. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multi-mode fiber to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the specific switch, router or storage platform prior to deployment; test one unit in your environment if required. Keep connector endfaces free of dust and avoid sharp bends during installation. Use the DDM/DOM readings to monitor link health and temperature over time to plan preventive maintenance.
