BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5m SFP+ Aqua 740-065464-BO

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5m SFP+ Aqua 740-065464-BO is a 5 meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ to SFP+ male connectors designed for high-speed multimode optical links. It supports 10 Gb/s class transmission over a pre-assembled multichannel fiber connection and is intended for direct device-to-device connections inside racks and between adjacent racks in data centers and networking environments. The AOC integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end to ensure signal integrity and simplified installation without separate transceivers or patch cords.

Advantages

This SFP+ AOC delivers consistent 10GBASE-SR performance over a fixed 5 m length while avoiding the need for separate fiber patching and connector cleaning. The pre-terminated cable reduces handling and insertion effort, eliminates attenuation variability from field-terminated links, and provides immunity to electromagnetic interference inherent to fiber optic transmission. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support enables real-time readout of operating parameters when the host system supports the feature, assisting with remote troubleshooting and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point connections between SFP+ ports in switches and servers
• Interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks in data centers
• High-speed storage and compute networking using 10G Ethernet or Fibre Channel over Ethernet

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fiber
• Nominal length: 5 meters
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Form factor compatibility: SFP+ ports (MSA-compliant)
• Diagnostic support: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatible

How to use

Verify that both host ports support SFP+ modules and, if you want to use diagnostic features, that the system supports DDM/DOM. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until the latch engages; no additional transceivers or patch cables are required. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, secure it to prevent accidental unplugging, and power on the connected devices. Monitor link status via the host system and the DDM/DOM parameters if available.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean, dry environment; avoid tight bends beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and protect the SFP+ connectors from dust when not in use. Ensure compatibility with the target hardware platform and its software/firmware requirements before deployment to enable full functionality of diagnostic features.
