InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics BO353503J1M-BO 1 m SFP+

The BlueOptics BO353503J1M-BO is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ to SFP+ connectors, designed for reliable 10G high-speed data transmission in data centres and networking environments. The pre-assembled AOC integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end and uses multimode fibre to support short-reach 10GBASE-SR applications, offering a plug-and-play optical connection without individual patch cords.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC is built to the SFP+ MSA standard for electrical, mechanical and functional compatibility with systems that support SFP+ AOCs. It provides immunity to electromagnetic interference and reduces the need for patching and cleaning compared with discrete fibre patch cords. Components selected for the assemblies are sourced from established suppliers to ensure long service life and stable optical performance. The cable supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host hardware supports the feature, enabling real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, output and input optical power, and temperature.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the connectors are oriented correctly and fully seated. Verify that both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and enable any required port settings in the network equipment. If DDM/DOM monitoring is required, confirm that the host hardware supports and exposes the diagnostics information. No additional patching or fibre cleaning is needed with this pre-assembled cable; handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Use the AOC for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections inside data centre racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and exposure to mechanical strain; maintain bend radius in accordance with multimode fibre best practices. Confirm device interoperability and DDM/DOM support in the host equipment prior to deployment.
