BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC-2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m SFP+ Male

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC-2M-BO is a 2-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for 10G data links over multimode fibre. It integrates transceivers at each end and conforms to MSA SFP+ form-factor standards, providing a pre-assembled, low-latency connection for switches, routers, storage systems and other networking equipment that accept SFP+ AOCs. The cable supports high-speed protocols such as 10G Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet, while remaining immune to electromagnetic interference typical of copper links.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC offers plug-and-play installation with no additional patching or fibre polishing required, reducing installation time and potential signal loss. Built and tested to MSA standards, the cable uses integrated transmitter and receiver modules to ensure signal integrity over the 2-metre span and supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) where supported by host hardware. The pre-terminated design and multimode optical transmission reduce latency and susceptibility to EMI compared with copper alternatives.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and that any required firmware or vendor compatibility settings are met. If DDM/DOM monitoring is needed, enable the monitoring function in the host device if supported. No fibre termination or patching is required because the cable is pre-assembled and ready for immediate use.

Recommendations

Use the AOC for short-reach connections within racks or between adjacent racks to maintain optimal signal integrity and minimal latency. Verify host compatibility and, if necessary, test a sample in your specific hardware platform before deploying at scale. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling during installation to preserve the cable's optical performance.
