BlueOptics BO353503J3M-BO InfiniBand/optický kábel 3 m SFP+ konektor/konektor

The BlueOptics BO353503J3M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 3 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for 10GBASE-SR link applications. The pre-assembled cable integrates a transmitter and receiver at each end and uses multimode fiber to support up to 10 Gbit/s data rates over a 3 meter distance. The cable follows MSA SFP+ form-factor standards and includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when supported by the host hardware.

Advantages

This 3 m SFP+ AOC offers optical transmission that is immune to electromagnetic interference and reduces latency compared to copper alternatives. As an active optical cable it eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, providing a plug-and-play SFP+ to SFP+ connection with minimal attenuation and consistent optical performance. The DDM/DOM interface simplifies troubleshooting and remote diagnostics. The cable is produced to MSA-compatible specifications and uses industry-grade optical and electronic components to achieve a long operational life and high mean time between failures.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s links between switches, routers and servers
• Storage area networks (FCoE / Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and SAN fabrics
• High-density rack interconnects and top-of-rack cabling
• Low-latency connections in data centres and enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 3 metres
• Supported protocols: 10G Ethernet (10GBASE-SR), Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications up to 10 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (AOC with integrated optical transceivers)
• Form factor: SFP+ MSA compatible
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472 (host support required)
• Interference immunity: optical link not susceptible to EMI

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the latch engages and the port supports Active Optical Cables and the 10GBASE-SR profile. Confirm that the host hardware and operating system support DDM/DOM if real-time diagnostic values are required. No additional patching or fiber termination is necessary because the cable is factory-assembled and pre-tested for compatibility with SFP+ MSA-compliant ports.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and kinks: maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOCs and secure the cable to prevent strain on the SFP+ connectors. Verify host compatibility for DDM/DOM access and confirm link settings (speed/duplex) in the network devices when installing the cable.
