InfiniBand/kuitu-kaapeli BlueOptics 740-066973-BO 30 m SFP+ uros/uros

The BlueOptics 740-066973-BO is a 30 m InfiniBand/fibre optic active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed links in data centres and networking environments. Built to MSA SFP+ form-factor standards, this AOC integrates a transmitter and receiver on each end for optical signal transfer over multimode fiber and supports 10G-class optical data transmission at a 30 metre reach. The pre-assembled cable reduces the need for additional patching and is intended for direct SFP+ to SFP+ connections in compatible network equipment.

Advantages

The cable provides a ready-to-use optical connection without separate transceivers or patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing connector cleaning and attenuation issues. Compliance with MSA SFP+ mechanical and electrical characteristics ensures interoperability with devices that support SFP+ AOCs. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support allows monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when the host hardware supports these features. The single-ended transmitter/receiver design and chosen optical components are intended to deliver stable performance and a long operational life.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches and routers
• High-speed storage and SAN interconnects using SFP+ ports
• Server-to-switch links in data centre racks over a 30 m span
• Network equipment requiring SFP+ active optical cables for multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (active optical cable)
• Cable length: 30 metres
• Transmission medium: multimode fiber with integrated optical transceivers
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Form factor: SFP+ MSA-compliant AOC
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring / Digital Optical Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support (hardware dependent)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 30 m SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated in SFP+ ports that support active optical cables and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support on the host devices to read diagnostic data. The cable is pre-assembled and requires no additional transceivers or patching; avoid excessive bending and secure the cable to prevent strain on the SFP+ connectors.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, router or storage hardware before deployment. Handle the SFP+ connectors by their housings, respect the minimum bend radius specified by multimode AOC guides, and ensure that the host platform supports SFP+ AOCs and DDM/DOM if diagnostic monitoring is required.
