Active Optical Cable BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC-10M 10GBASE-SR 10 m

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC-10M 10GBASE-SR 10 m is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach assembly designed for short-range 10 Gbps connections. The cable integrates SFP+ optical transceivers with a 10-metre multimode optical link to deliver low-latency, high-throughput links between switches, servers and storage systems. It supports 10GBASE-SR signalling over fiber for data centre and enterprise networking environments where consistent 10G performance and simplified installation are required.

Advantages

The AOC combines the electrical SFP+ interface with an optical medium to reduce electromagnetic interference and extend reach compared to copper DACs while keeping a compact form factor. Factory termination and integrated transceivers remove the need for separate modules and patch cords, simplifying deployment and lowering installation time. The product delivers deterministic 10 Gbps performance with low power consumption and stable signal integrity over the specified 10 m distance.

How to use

Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it latches. Ensure both networking devices support SFP+ optical modules and 10GBASE-SR signalling. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber. After physical installation, verify link status on both devices and confirm negotiated 10 Gbps operation in the switches or host network adapters.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within the specified 10 m distance and avoid exposure to excessive tension, tight bends, or strong electromagnetic sources. Verify compatibility with equipment vendor supported transceiver lists if vendor-locked systems are used. Keep connector end faces clean; inspect and, if necessary, clean before insertion to preserve signal quality.
