InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 740-065462-BO 1 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics 740-065462-BO is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed short-range connections. It supports 10G optical links over multimode fibre and is intended for direct SFP+ to SFP+ connections in networking equipment that accepts SFP+ AOC modules. The pre-terminated cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end to carry optical signals without separate transceivers.

Advantages

This 1 m BlueOptics AOC provides a compact, low-latency optical connection that is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference and does not require patch-cord terminations or manual polishing. The integrated transceivers and adherence to SFP+ MSA standards simplify installation and reduce potential points of failure. The cable is suitable for environments where a short, reliable optical link is required and offers diagnostic monitoring capability when the host hardware supports DDM/DOM.

Suitable for

• Direct SFP+ to SFP+ connections between switches and routers
• Server-to-switch or storage-to-switch short optical links
• High-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel over short multimode fibre runs

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Media type: Active optical cable (multimode fiber)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Applications: 10G Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET (where supported)
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) supported when host hardware provides the interface

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap instructions for your equipment, then insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it latches. Verify link status through the host device management interface or LEDs. If your hardware supports DDM/DOM, enable or access diagnostic reporting to view supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and temperature. Use the cable for short-range optical interconnects according to your network design and the host device specifications.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility by verifying that the target devices support SFP+ AOC modules and, if you require diagnostic data, that DDM/DOM is exposed by the host. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the cable; maintain recommended bend radius for multimode AOC assemblies to preserve optical performance.
