BlueOptics SFPP-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 1m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFPP-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 1m Male/Male is a 1 metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors designed for short-reach, high-speed connections. It integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end for optical signal transfer over multimode fiber and supports 10 Gbit/s data rates compatible with SFP+ ports. The pre-assembled AOC removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion loss and simplifying cabling in data centre and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

The cable provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference while offering predictable latency and stable throughput for high-speed applications. Being an active optical cable with SFP+ to SFP+ interfaces, it enables direct device-to-device connections without additional patch panels or manual fibre termination. Components follow MSA guidelines for pinout and form factor compatibility, and the cable supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time reporting of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature where supported by the host hardware.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ slot on the two devices to be connected, ensuring proper seating and latching. Verify port settings and link status on both devices; in most systems the link will negotiate automatically at supported speeds. If digital diagnostics are required, enable or check DOM/DDM support in the host device firmware or management interface to monitor operational parameters. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends or stress on the fiber to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth links within racks or adjacent racks. Avoid using it in routing paths that require repeated flexing or exposure to mechanical strain. Confirm host compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules and DDM/DOM features before deployment, and inspect connector endfaces for contamination before insertion to maintain optimal optical performance.
