BlueOptics 10G-SFP-AOC-1001-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m SFP+ Aqua

The BlueOptics 10G-SFP-AOC-1001-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m SFP+ Aqua is a 10-metre active optical cable with SFP+ connectors designed for high-speed InfiniBand and Ethernet interconnects. It provides a factory-terminated, plug-and-play connection between SFP+ ports, combining low latency and consistent throughput for data center racks, server clusters and network switches. The aqua jacket identifies the multimode optical assembly and helps with quick cable management in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

This 10 m SFP+ AOC delivers high data rates with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives. As an active optical cable it offers low insertion loss and stable signal integrity over the full 10-m run. The pre-terminated SFP+ connectors simplify installation and reduce the risk of connector damage during field termination. Its standardized SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of SFP+ ports that support direct-attach optical modules.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to top-of-rack or end-of-row switches in data centers
• High-throughput links between storage arrays and host bus adapters
• Interconnecting network appliances and InfiniBand-enabled compute nodes
• Short-reach optical connections in enterprise network cabinets and racks

Key specifications

• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (active optical cable)
• Interface: InfiniBand and compatible with 10G SFP+ Ethernet ports
• Media: multimode active optical fibre
• Jacket colour: aqua for multimode identification
• Typical use: short-reach data centre interconnects with low latency

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 10 m SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ socket until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered down or support hot-plugging per the host device documentation before insertion or removal. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to maintain optical performance; keep bend radii within the manufacturer’s recommended limits. Verify link status and data throughput through the connected devices’ management interfaces after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this cable in environments with controlled temperature and minimal mechanical stress. Confirm SFP+ compatibility and firmware or driver support on network equipment to ensure the connected ports recognise active optical modules. Label both ends for easier maintenance and avoid bundling with high-power electrical cables to prevent physical strain.
