Network Cable BlueOptics JL291A-BO SFP+ InfiniBand 10m Red

The BlueOptics JL291A-BO SFP+ InfiniBand 10m Red is a 10-meter active optical cable with SFP+ connectors at both ends, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and 10G Ethernet interconnects. The pre-assembled multi-mode fiber cable implements SFP+ to SFP+ connectivity and provides a compact, plug-and-play solution for short-reach links in data centers, server rooms and network racks. Its red jacket eases identification of fiber runs while the integrated transceivers handle simultaneous transmit and receive optical signals according to SFP+ MSA guidelines.

Advantages

The cable offers a ready-made optical link that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion loss and simplifying installation. Compliance with SFP+ MSA electrical and mechanical interfaces ensures broad interoperability with SFP+-compatible switches, routers and storage ports. The active optical design supports high throughput and immunity to electromagnetic interference, while the distinctive red color facilitates cable management and visual tracing in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10G InfiniBand or 10GBASE-SR connections between switches and servers
• High-density data center interconnects and top-of-rack cabling
• Storage area networks (SAN) and high-speed server clusters
• Environments requiring EMI-immune links or color-coded cabling

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fiber type: multi-mode active optical cable (AOC)
• Color: red
• Weight: 0.15 kg

How to use

Power off or follow hot-swap guidelines for your hardware if required, then insert each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port until it latches. Verify link negotiation and speed on the connected devices and confirm that any port-level diagnostics or DOM/DDM functions are supported and reporting as expected by your equipment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; secure the cable with appropriate management hardware to maintain bend radius and prevent stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force, keep the connector endfaces free of dust and contamination, and verify compatibility with your switch or storage vendor for SFP+ AOC modules. Use color coding to separate traffic types and facilitate maintenance in multi-cable installations.
