BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC20M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC20M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 20 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ to SFP+ male connectors designed for 10G data links. Built to MSA SFP+ form-factor standards, this pre-assembled multi-mode fibre cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end to deliver 10GBASE-SR capable optical transmission over 20 meters. The cable is intended for high-speed interconnects in data center and enterprise networking environments where low latency and electromagnetic immunity are required.

Advantages

The integrated AOC design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion loss and cleanup effort while providing a consistent optical link. Compatibility with SFP+ ports following MSA standards ensures plug-and-play operation with network switches, routers and storage systems that accept standard SFP+ AOCs. The cable supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time status of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature, simplifying troubleshooting and remote maintenance.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC20M-BO by inserting each SFP+ plug into compatible SFP+ ports on the devices to be connected. Ensure both endpoints support SFP+ AOC modules and, if DDM/DOM functionality is required, verify the host hardware exposes diagnostic reporting. Cable routing should avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; follow standard fibre handling practices to maintain optical performance. No separate transceivers or patch panels are required for typical use.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, confirm host compatibility with SFP+ AOCs before deployment, avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, and maintain clean connector housings during installation. Use the DDM/DOM readouts to monitor link health and plan maintenance when diagnostic values deviate from expected ranges.
