BlueOptics S+AO0050-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 50 m SFP+ Aqua

The BlueOptics S+AO0050-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 50 m SFP+ Aqua is a 50-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ to SFP+ connectors designed for multi-mode, short-range 10GBASE-SR links. Manufactured to MSA-compliant form factor and interface standards, this aqua-coloured AOC integrates a transmitter and receiver in each connector to deliver optical 10 Gbps data transmission over multi-mode fiber for data centre interconnects, switches, routers and storage systems that support SFP+ AOC modules.

Advantages

This 50 m BlueOptics AOC provides a factory-assembled fibre connection that eliminates the need for patch cords and manual splicing, reducing insertion loss and maintenance. Compliance with industry MSA standards ensures broad hardware compatibility and plug-and-play operation. The integrated digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM, SFF-8472) enables real-time readout of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature to support remote troubleshooting. Use of high-quality optical components and tested assemblies results in long operational life and stable performance for high-availability network links.

Key specifications

How to use

Verify that both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and that the target interfaces accept 10GBASE-SR short-range links. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid bending the cable beyond recommended radii. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch engages. If DDM/DOM monitoring is required, enable or query diagnostic registers from the host device according to its management interface. Do not attempt to open or disassemble the connector modules; they are pre-assembled for factory-calibrated optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, keep connectors covered when not in use to prevent contamination, and confirm DDM/DOM support on your hardware before relying on diagnostic readouts. Use the aqua colour to identify short-range multimode links in structured cabling environments.
