BlueOptics ET5402-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 30m Male/Male

The BlueOptics ET5402-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 30m Male/Male is a 30‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ to SFP+ connectors, designed for high‑speed 10G data transmission over multimode fiber. It integrates a transmitter and receiver on each end and follows MSA SFP+ specifications, providing a pre‑assembled optical link for data centers, switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP+ 10GBASE‑SR AOCs.

Advantages

The AOC construction removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion loss and eliminating electromagnetic interference. Built to MSA standards and tested for compatibility with common networking platforms, the cable supports Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications at up to 10 Gbit/s over 30 metres. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ module end into the SFP+ ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring that the port supports AOC modules and SFP+ 10GBASE‑SR links. The cable is pre‑terminated and requires no additional patching; connect the two devices directly and confirm link negotiation at both ends. If available, enable or verify DDM/DOM in the host hardware to monitor optical parameters. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify device compatibility with SFP+ AOCs and confirm that the host firmware or OS supports DDM/DOM reporting. Maintain minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer, route the cable away from tight cable bundles and secure connectors to prevent strain. Use this AOC for short to medium multimode runs up to 30 m where a compact, low‑latency 10G connection and simplified installation are required.
